Asked as: “For a drone payload I need an Orbbec stereo depth camera rated IP65 or better. What's the lightest option?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

The lightest Orbbec stereo depth camera rated IP65 or better is the Orbbec Gemini 305g. It weighs 116 g and is rated IP65. It's also the most compact of the matches at 42 × 42 × 40 mm, and it connects over GMSL2 or USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 Type-C. doc.orbbec... +1doc.orbbec.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=116 g, mechanical.ip_rating=IP65”doc.orbbec.com ↗“camera.interface=GMSL2, USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 Type-C”

Things to check for a drone payload:

  • Temperature: The Gemini 305g has the narrowest operating range of the six: -10 to 45 °C ambient, and that range depends on the disparity search range. At 256 disparity it drops to -10 to 40 °C. The other five are rated -10 to 50 °C, but their range depends on frame rate. doc.orbbec... +1doc.orbbec.com ↗“-10..45ambient at128 disparity, -10..40 at256 disparity”orbbec.com ↗“-10..50C at15/30fps; maximum45C at60fps”
  • Higher water protection: If you need IP67, the lightest choice is the Gemini 335Le at 220 g. orbbec.comorbbec.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=220 g, mechanical.ip_rating=IP67”
