The Payloads screen allows you to add and configure cameras and sensors. A list of known cameras is available, and you can also configure your own.
Selecting Known Payloads
Payloads that are preconfigured in the system include: Sony RX0, Sony RX1Rii, Sony a6000, Sony s6400, Sony a6500, Sony a7Riv, Sony R10C, Workswell WIRIS Pro, Workswell WIRIS Security, and the MicaSense RedEdge MX.
As new cameras and sensors are integrated they will be added to this list in subsequent releases of Flight Deck.
Just select the desired payload from the dropdown menu for its settings to be available in Mission Planning.
Once a payload has been selected, a Payload information box will appear with the specifications for that camera or sensor.
Adding New Payloads
Select “Add Payload” from the list. Populate the fields with the configuration information. If any values are incorrect or missing, variables in the Mission Planning such as Ground Sample Distance and trigger distance may be incorrect.
Most of these values can be found on the sensor manufacturer’s product information sheet.
