Deepthink S8 Night Vision Camera for DJI Mavic 3E / 3T: Full-color low-light imaging for nighttime UAV operations
The Deepthink S8 Night Vision Camera is an AI-enabled gimbal payload designed specifically for DJI Mavic 3E and DJI Mavic 3T aircraft. Built around a 1/1.8-inch ultra-low-light CMOS sensor, it delivers full-color imagery in extremely dark environments without auxiliary lighting.
With support for high dynamic range imaging, low-noise performance, and AI-assisted image processing, the S8 extends visual operations beyond daylight hours. Direct DJI E-Port integration and low power consumption allow rapid installation while preserving flight endurance for professional night missions.
Key features

Clear situational awareness during nighttime and low-illumination missions
The S8 is designed to maintain usable, full-color imagery in lighting conditions where conventional cameras struggle. Ultra-low-light sensitivity enables scene visibility without external illumination, while high dynamic range helps retain detail across mixed lighting environments.
Low-noise imaging improves clarity in dark scenes, supporting confident visual interpretation. These characteristics are critical for nighttime patrols, inspections, and emergency response missions where rapid understanding of the environment is required.
Stable image capture during dynamic night flight operations
Night operations amplify the effects of motion and vibration on image quality. The S8’s stabilized gimbal system reduces motion-induced blur and maintains consistent framing during aircraft movement. Fast rotational response supports smooth tracking during directional changes or agile maneuvers. Combined with low-light optimization, this stability supports real-time monitoring and produces more usable recorded footage for post-mission review and documentation.
