About HITS

Industrial UAV cameras.
Engineering at the core.

We bring research, development and manufacturing together to create UAV cameras and imaging payloads for professional systems.

Who we are

Your industrial UAV
camera manufacturer.

HITS is a technology company focused on industrial UAV cameras and imaging payloads. We work with UAV manufacturers, system integrators, distributors and project teams that need an imaging system suited to a specific platform and mission.

Our portfolio spans visible-light cameras, thermal imaging options, stabilized gimbals and EO/IR payloads. Selected configurations also offer laser rangefinding and AI capabilities.

Our work starts with understanding the aircraft and the operator. What must the camera capture? How will it be controlled? How will it connect to the rest of the system?

HITS is the UAV imaging payload business of the HITS New Energy group, registered as HITS Hydrogen Power Technology Co., Ltd. Group engineering in hydrogen fuel cells and power systems dates back to 2003, and today covers fuel cells, hydrogen-powered aircraft and the payload electronics used in our cameras. Headquarters and fuel-cell research are in Shanghai, the drone research centre is in Shenzhen, and production runs across three bases in Chizhou, Zaozhuang and Zhangjiagang.

From development to manufacturing

Product knowledge.
Direct collaboration.

A professional imaging payload must fit the aircraft, the mission and the purchasing plan. We discuss these requirements together.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Imaging with a purpose

We consider sensor selection, stabilization and available payload capabilities in the context of what the operator needs to see.

MANUFACTURING

Factory-direct dialogue

Discuss product options and project requirements directly with HITS, from an initial evaluation to the intended production configuration.

OEM & INTEGRATION

A practical route to fit

Review standard products and OEM configurations. Custom requirements begin with a feasibility discussion around your platform constraints.

Who we work with

Built for professional
buying and engineering teams.

01

UAV Manufacturers

Align camera selection with aircraft payload capacity, power, mechanical layout and intended operator experience.

02

System Integrators

Review control, video output and sensor requirements before a demonstration or integration evaluation.

03

Distributors

Understand model differences and available configurations to support professional customer requirements.

04

Project Buyers

Discuss specifications, evaluation needs, expected quantities and procurement timing as one connected decision.

Our approach

Start with the mission.
Check the whole system.

Payload weight, power, mounting space, control, video output and viewing distance all affect whether an industrial UAV camera is the right choice.

We help customers narrow the options and identify the details that need to be confirmed before evaluation. When a suitable configuration is identified, the discussion can move toward samples, quantities and procurement timing.

For repeat purchases, we encourage an early conversation about the intended production configuration, alongside the requirements for the initial test.

A wider platform perspective

Payload expertise.
Aircraft understanding.

Alongside imaging payloads, HITS offers hydrogen-powered multirotor and VTOL UAV platforms. Our broader direction includes hydrogen energy power solutions for professional UAV applications.

Customers can discuss aircraft and cameras together, or evaluate our payloads for an existing platform. The starting point remains the mission and the information the operator needs.

Bring your platform. Let’s define the payload.

Share your mission, aircraft constraints and imaging requirements.
