HELPING YOU HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS
Here at Sohn Systems, we know that you are committed to giving your customers the best possible products. We are, too. We are developing an advanced quick-connect gimbal/mount adapter for commercial drones, like the ones you manufacture.
Our system will use our patented tool-free, fastener-free connector technology, U-Dot. Add our adapter to any gimbal or mount, and it becomes a quick-connect component. Your customers can easily swap out all the different cameras and other sensors they need, INSTANTLY.
The U-Dot design gives you a very strong positive lock, because the flanges on the U’s hook into the flanges on the Dot’s on the other piece. The connection can only be broken by sliding the pieces apart, and that is blocked by a locking bar. The electrical connections are molded into the U-Dot pieces, like a printed circuit board, eliminating the wiring harness.
U-Dot components—electrical wiring and connections built in—like a printed circuit board
The U’s and Dot’s lock into each other—positive lock without fasteners
