How it sits on the mast, and sees past it
A closer look at the camera unit at engineering level: how big it really is, the three ways it mounts, and why the mast it stands on does not take a bite out of the view.
About the size of a basketball
The camera unit is smaller than most people expect: roughly a basketball across, and about the weight of four bottles of wine. It sits on a mast without dominating it, and one person can handle it during a refit.
- Dimensions282 × 280 × 207 mm
- Weight~5.5 kg
- External moving partsNone
Hangs below, sits on top, or clamps in place
The same unit suits all three arrangements, so the mount follows the vessel rather than the vessel working around the camera. Every install is survey led.

The mast it stands on is not a blind spot
A single fixed lens behind a mast would lose whatever the mast covers. Panoblu carries its lenses in a ring around the housing, so where one lens sees the mast, its neighbours already see past it on both sides.
Seen from above, the ring closes
Each lens covers its own sector and overlaps its neighbours. From directly overhead the sectors meet all the way round, which is why the mast in the middle costs nothing. Every sector is combined into one 360° view on the bridge, thermal and visible light together.
