FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version Drone Zoom Camera

The FCB‑ER9500 Weight Reduced Version is a custom variant developed by our company, based on the Sony FCB‑ER9500. It retains all core imaging performance while adopting structural optimization and lightweight‑grade materials. 

The original Sony FCB‑ER9500 weighs approximately 464 g. By redesigning the original metal housing into an aluminum‑alloy enclosure, the FCB‑ER9500 Weight Reduced Version drastically cuts weight down to around 310 g. With dimensions of 76.0 × 62.0 × 125.0 mm, it effectively reduces the load burden on mounted devices.

Features

1. Significant Weight Reduction to Extend Device Endurance and Operating Duration

Weight is a critical factor affecting the battery life of UAVs and mobile devices. The FCB‑ER9500 Weight Reduced Version greatly reduces the overall load on airborne and gimbal‑mounted equipment, effectively cutting power consumption. It substantially improves UAV hover time and cruising range, and extends the continuous‑operation time of mobile terminals. It delivers greatly enhanced operational efficiency for scenarios including large‑scale field inspection, long‑duration aerial photography for evidence collection, and persistent aerial monitoring. It is perfectly suited for integration with solar‑powered low‑power and long‑duty‑cycle devices.

2. Optimized for Compact Integration with Comprehensive Installation Improvements

The optimized lightweight FCB‑ER9500 Weight Reduced Version features better dimensional adaptability. It can be embedded into weight‑sensitive installation spaces such as compact UAV pods, intelligent gimbals, lightweight vehicle‑mounted terminals, and precision medical teaching equipment. No equipment‑structure modification or custom housing is required, which greatly lowers integration difficulty and retrofitting costs, and accelerates the deployment of lightweight, portable high‑end vision devices.

3. Improved Body Stability for Smoother Dynamic Footage

Excessively heavy camera cores increase jitter loads on gimbals and airborne hardware, frequently resulting in shaking and offset frames. Boasting better‑balanced self‑weight, the FCB‑ER9500 Weight Reduced Version works in tandem with the module’s advanced image stabilization and dynamic compensation algorithms. It achieves markedly improved mechanical stability during high‑speed movement, vibration and multi‑angle rotation, effectively eliminating motion blur, smearing and frame offset to deliver crisp, smooth dynamic video.

4. Compatible with interface Boards for Convenient Field Deployment

The FCB‑ER9500 Weight Reduced Version is fully compatible with all interface board solutions for the standard Sony FCB‑ER9500:

FAQ

Q: Is the imaging performance of the FCB‑ER9500 Lightweight Version exactly the same as that of the Sony FCB‑ER9500? 

A: Yes. The FCB‑ER9500 Lightweight Version only modifies the housing structure to optimize overall weight and physical dimensions. Its internal hardware fully adopts the original design, delivering identical imaging performance as the original Sony FCB‑ER9500. 

Q: Can the physical size of the FCB‑ER9500 Lightweight Version be further optimized? 

A: No. To guarantee imaging performance consistent with the original Sony FCB‑ER9500, the original internal hardware architecture is strictly retained during secondary development, so the body size cannot be further reduced. If your project has strict volume‑constraint requirements, please consider our other compact camera modules.
