The FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version is a customized version developed by Our company based on the Sony FCB-ER9500. While retaining all core imaging performance, it is built through structural optimization and the use of lightweight materials.
The original Sony FCB-ER9500 weighs approximately 464 g. The FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version redesigns the original metal housing as an aluminum alloy housing, greatly reducing the weight to approximately 310 g. Its dimensions are controlled at 76.0 x 62.0 x 125.0 mm, effectively reducing the payload pressure on mounted equipment.
Many users may worry: after weight reduction, will imaging performance be compromised?
The answer from the FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version is absolutely not. It fully retains all original configurations:
1. 1/1.8-type STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor
2. 4K 25x optical zoom
3. 4K/60p output
4. Wide dynamic range
5. Infrared-sensitive (ICR ON) color mode
6. Image stabilization (S/S+ modes)
7. Spot auto focus / auto exposure / auto white balance
......
The weight reduced of the FCB-ER9500 is not a downgrade achieved by cutting components. Instead, it is achieved by re-optimizing the internal structural layout and using lightweight housing materials. Without changing the core optical and circuit modules, the overall weight is brought into a range suitable for the scenario. It removes excess weight burden while maintaining the professional imaging baseline of the Sony FCB-ER9500.
1. Significantly reduced burden, extending device endurance and operating time
Weight is a key factor in the endurance of drones and mobile devices. The FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version greatly reduces the overall load of airborne and gimbal equipment, effectively reducing power loss and significantly improving drone hover time and cruise range, while extending the continuous operating time of mobile terminals. In scenarios such as large-scale field inspections, long-duration aerial photography and evidence collection, and continuous aerial monitoring, operating efficiency is greatly improved. It is perfectly suited for integration into solar-powered low-power, long-duration unattended equipment.
2. Suitable for small integration, fully upgraded installation
The optimized lightweight FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version offers stronger volume adaptability. It can be embedded in small drone pods, smart gimbals, lightweight vehicle terminals, precision medical teaching equipment, and other installation spaces with weight requirements. No equipment structure modification or custom housing is required, greatly reducing equipment integration difficulty and modification costs, and helping lightweight, portable high-end vision devices quickly reach deployment.
3. More stable body, smoother dynamic shooting footage
An overly heavy camera core increases the jitter load on gimbals and airborne equipment, making image shake and drift more likely. The FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version has a more balanced body weight. Combined with the camera module’s super image stabilization and dynamic compensation algorithms, when the equipment moves at high speed, experiences bumps, or rotates at multiple angles, body stability is greatly improved. It effectively eliminates ghosting, blurring, and image shift, outputting clear and smooth dynamic images.
4. Compatible with interface boards for convenient scenario implementation
The FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version is also compatible with all encoding control board solutions for the Sony FCB-ER9500:
| Output Interface | Interface Board | Compatible Camera Module |
| SDI output | 3G-SDI Interface Board 12G-SDI Interface board | Sony FCB-ER9500 FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version |
| Network output | MIPI or LVDS to IP Camera Interface Board 4KP60 AI Capable & Addable IP Interface Board | |
| HDMI-Compatible output | HD-HDMI Compatible Interface Board 4KP60 HDMI-Compatible Interface board 4KP30 HDMI-Compatible Interface board | |
| USB output | LVDS to USB3.0 Video Capture Interface Board LVDS to USB C Video Capture Interface Board 4K USB TYPE-C Interface board | |
| MIPI output | LVDS to MIPI Interface Board 4K HDMI-Compatible to MIPI Interface board |
This full-interface adaptation solution allows the FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version to directly use the mature full-link video output capabilities of the original Sony FCB-ER9500 without additional custom hardware—from SDI broadcast-grade long-distance transmission and network IP stream distribution to HDMI direct display, USB quick debugging, and MIPI interfacing with embedded SoCs [2]. This greatly reduces adaptation and development costs for lightweight projects and enables the rapid deployment of 4K imaging requirements for various small vehicles.
Q: Is the imaging performance of the FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version really identical to that of the Sony FCB-ER9500?
A: Yes. The FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version only modifies the housing structure and only optimizes overall weight and body dimensions. Its internal hardware structure completely follows the original design, and its imaging performance is fully consistent with the original Sony FCB-ER9500.
Q: Can the FCB-ER9500 Weight Reduced Version also optimize the body dimensions?
A: No. To ensure imaging performance is completely consistent with the original Sony FCB-ER9500, we strictly retained the original factory internal hardware architecture during secondary development. Therefore, the body dimensions cannot be further compressed. If your project has strict requirements for volume, we recommend choosing other small camera modules from our company.
