CZI GL10 V2 Gimbal Searchlight: Aerial Illumination Payload for DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Platforms

Enterprise drone platforms often require specialized payloads to expand operational capability in low-light environments. The CZI GL10 V2 Gimbal Searchlight adds a dedicated aerial lighting system to the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise series, enabling organizations to conduct nighttime inspections, response missions, and security operations with improved visibility.

The payload installs through the aircraft’s top accessory interface using the DJI Payload SDK, allowing it to integrate directly with the aircraft’s flight and payload management system.

Designed specifically for the Mavic 3 Enterprise ecosystem, the GL10 V2 combines a high-output searchlight, directional indication laser, and signaling LEDs within a compact payload module. A 30-watt LED produces 3,200 lumens through a focused beam capable of illuminating ground targets up to 328 feet (100 meters) away.

The stabilized gimbal aligns illumination with the aircraft camera orientation so the lit area follows the pilot’s viewing direction during flight.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dedicated lighting payload: adds aerial illumination capability to Mavic 3 enterprise aircraft
• High-output LED system: 30W light source produces 3,200 lumens illumination output
• Focused optical beam: 14-degree field of view concentrates light on targets
• Extended illumination range: effective lighting distance reaches 328 feet (100 meters)
• Integrated signaling LEDs: red, blue, and yellow lights support aerial communication
• Direction indication laser: green pointer assists coordination between aerial and ground teams
• Stabilized gimbal mount: adjustable −100° to +60° pitch enables controlled beam positioning
• Lightweight payload structure: ≤130 gram weight preserves aircraft stability and endurance
• DJI payload interface: PSDK connection enables direct aircraft and payload communication

Platform-Level Night Operations Capability

For organizations deploying the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise platform, payload modules can extend mission capability without requiring a larger aircraft system. The GL10 V2 introduces integrated aerial illumination designed to work within the aircraft’s payload architecture.

With roughly twenty percent greater brightness than the earlier GL10 model, the searchlight improves nighttime visibility for inspection programs, emergency response teams, and security operations. The stabilized gimbal automatically aligns the beam with the aircraft camera orientation, allowing illumination to follow the aircraft’s viewing direction and enabling coordinated aerial operations when natural lighting conditions are limited.

Compatibility and System Integration

• Compatible with DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, DJI Mavic 3 Thermal and Thermal Advanced, DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral
• DJI Payload SDK interface: enables communication between payload hardware and aircraft systems
• DJI Pilot 2 software: operators control lighting and signaling through flight interface
• Top accessory interface: payload installs using quick-release adapter on aircraft mount

Applications and Use Cases

• Search and rescue programs: add aerial illumination capability to nighttime UAV deployments
• Public safety operations: deploy drone lighting during coordinated response missions
• Infrastructure inspection programs: support nighttime examination of bridges, towers, and utilities
• Emergency response teams: extend aerial situational awareness into low-visibility environments
• Disaster recovery operations: provide lighting where ground infrastructure is unavailable
• Security monitoring programs: support nighttime aerial surveillance and perimeter observation

The CZI GL10 V2 Gimbal Searchlight expands the operational envelope of the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise platform by adding integrated aerial illumination capability. Its combination of focused lighting, camera-aligned gimbal control, and lightweight construction allows organizations to extend UAV operations into environments where visibility would otherwise limit mission effectiveness.

Dronefly works with organizations to build scalable UAV programs that combine aircraft, payloads, and operational support.
