Product General Description
The E20Tvx with Thermography sensor for the H520E Hexacopter is a stabilized 3-axis gimbal,
thermal imaging and residual light camera all-in-one. The E20Tvx is available with a 640*512-pixel
thermal imaging resolution. The E20Tvx takes high-quality pictures and detects more details in
the dark than the naked eye with the help of its large RGB sensor. Thanks to its dual video stream,
you can stream the thermal and residual light image simultaneously to the remote control and
then look at the image as an overlay or picture-in-picture.
Highlights of the E20Tvx camera system:
Thermal imaging camera and 1080p low-light camera combinable and recordable (picture in
picture or overlay).
Te mpe rat ure m ea sureme nt a nd d isplay.
Heat sources are well visualized thanks to the different color spectrums available.
Dual-stream recording allows for separate editing of thermal and RGB video or photo
information.

Gimbal Installation
Assembly and Disassembly the X connector gimbals
Assembling
Step 1.
Find the Unlocked Mark etched on the Gimbal
Yaw Motor and align the Mark Line with the
front of the damping plate.
Step 2.
Insert the Gimbal Yaw Motor into the
damping plate and rotate it counterclockwise
until the Mark Line of the Locked Mark aligns
with the front of the damping plate to secure
the gimbal.
Step 3.
Remove the lens protector
Disassembling
Step 1.
Hold the gimbal release button and rotate the
Gimbal Yaw Motor clockwise until the Mark
Line of the Unlocked Mark aligns with the
front of the damping plate.
Step 2.
Pull the gimbal out from the damping plate.
Notice: The X-connector series gimbal needn't
bind separately. If the re-binding is needed
please refer to the corresponding section in
the Drone Quick Start Guide.
