PowerEye features PowerVision's integrated Dual Viewing capability for the ultimate in cinematographic control. Dual Viewing gives multiple users the ability to see video simultaneously from a First Person View (FPV) and a Subject Matter View (SMV). With Dual Viewing a cinematographer has the ability to see what is in front of the PowerEye while in flight through a dedicated FPV camera housed in the nose of the aircraft and a separate gimbal-mounted camera can be simultaneously directed to action on the ground or other areas in the sky.

Dual Viewing can be managed by a single person using one mobile device in either a split screen or picture-in-picture mode (user selectable) using the PowerEye App. Two people can also manage the Dual View using two mobile devices with one managing FPV, and the other managing SMV.

PowerEye is available in two camera models. The "PowerEye Professional" is equipped with a high-performance Panasonic Lumix G 11mm F2.5 ASPH 4K UHD camera. The "PowerEye Thermal" is equipped with a state-of-the-art Thermal/Natural Light Switchable Camera that comes with two integrated light sensors and two lenses. Through the PowerEye App, users can switch between the thermal and the natural light setting with one touch. Using the Thermal/Natural Light Switchable Camera, cinematographers can capture a spectrum of light not visible to the unaided eye.

"PowerEye takes professional focus, special effects, and control to the next level. It exceeds passed only what the eye sees and can capture something magical," said Wally Zheng, CEO of PowerVision Technology Group. "We are excited to extend our years of expertise in UAV technology to today's professional and aspiring cinematographers with PowerEye. By combining powerful new features and state-of-the-art aeronautics in a robust and collapsible form, we believe PowerEye sets the stage with new standards leading the market forward."
