Payload Control

Every sensor, from the cloud

The camera is why the aircraft flies. AutrikOS puts the full payload surface — gimbal, zoom, lenses, thermal, spotlight, speaker, on-board AI — in the browser, over any network. One control contract spans DJI docks and remote controllers as well as SDK-agnostic custom aircraft, so the same interface drives every fleet.

Optics & imaging

Everything between the operator's eye and the sensor.

Gimbal control illustration

Gimbal control

Drag anywhere on the live video to pan and tilt. Angle presets, one-tap recenter, and a live pitch/yaw read-out — smooth rate control tuned for remote links.

Capture & recording illustration

Capture & recording

Photo, video, panorama and timed-interval shooting, triggered from the cloud with live capture progress reported back from the aircraft.

Zoom illustration

Zoom

Continuous hybrid zoom — up to 200× on supported payloads — plus box-zoom: drag a rectangle on the video and the camera frames it. Discrete thermal zoom steps included.

Multi-lens switching

Flip the live stream between wide, zoom, thermal and multispectral sources on multi-sensor payloads — the interface shows exactly the lenses your hardware carries.

Exposure & focus illustration

Exposure & focus

Full manual imaging — ISO, shutter, aperture, EV, white balance and focus modes — plus tap-to-focus directly on the video.

Thermal suite illustration

Thermal suite

Thirteen palettes, isotherms, gain modes, spot and area temperature metering, live min/max frame temperature, and side-by-side visual/thermal split screen.

Act

Aim, illuminate, communicate

Turning what the operator sees into action on scene.

Click-to-aim & look-at illustration

Click-to-aim & look-at

Double-tap the video and the camera centers on that pixel. Or pick a point on the map — aircraft and gimbal slew together to watch a real-world coordinate.

AI recognition & tracking

On-board AI detections drawn live on the stream. Click a target to lock on and follow, with recognition score modes and class filters.

Laser pinpoint illustration

Laser pinpoint

Rangefinder telemetry streams the distance and precise world coordinates of whatever the camera is looking at — ready for mapping, reporting and dispatch.

Spotlight illustration

Spotlight

Command a searchlight payload from the cloud — brightness per lamp group and lighting modes for night work.

DJI Dock 3PSDK
Speaker & broadcast illustration

Speaker & broadcast

Text-to-speech announcements — voice, language, speed — or playback from your organization's audio library, in single or looping modes.

Night operations illustration

Night operations

Night-vision and denoise modes, IR fill light and the anti-collision beacon — or stealth mode for when dark matters.

Automate

Automate & integrate

Payload behaviour that runs without a hand on the stick.

Media sync illustration

Media sync

Photos and video flow off the aircraft automatically — in flight, after the mission, or on demand — deduplicated into cloud storage with full position and gimbal metadata.

Mission-embedded actions illustration

Mission-embedded actions

Bake payload behaviour into the flight plan: per-waypoint photos, recording, zoom, gimbal angles, panorama and oriented shots — planned once, flown every time.

Open payload architecture illustration

Open payload architecture

One SDK-agnostic control contract across DJI Cloud API, MSDK, PSDK and custom payloads. Hardware advertises its capabilities; the interface renders only what your payload supports.

All stacks

DJI Cloud API suite

Native control of DJI Dock 1/2/3 and the RC family over MQTT — including DRC low-latency live control for flight-critical payload commands.

Skyclient suite — SDK-agnostic

The same payload contract over Autrik's own protocol for MSDK, PSDK and fully custom aircraft — so non-DJI payloads get the same interface.
