Only problem with solo is the CAM_FEEDBACK feature was not added until APM:Copter3.4, and solo is stuck on a modified version of APM:Copter3.3. So the Solo has no way of logging precision camera fire times.
If anyone knows of a way to do this with the Reach, or another way to do this, please do share!
Sorry for the long absence everyone, I had to put my SOLO/REACH RTK project on hold for a few months while Iāve been focusing more on the workflows of the data after its captured. Weāve been producing some amazing quality models with the Sony a6000 onboard the Solo and the sites I been flying had some great GCPās and therefore didnāt require RTK. So Iāve been developing workflows for exploring the captured data along with design data in VR/AR/MR with the HTC Vive and HoloLens.
For those interested in the a6000 mount, Iām happy to share the files for printing in its current prototype state (version 0.7) and happy to get feedback while I work up to something worthy of being a Version 1.0! The other thing I hadnāt shared earlier is I had designed a base station for the REACH module which is also fully 3D printed. (Refer images).
However now with the newly launched Reach RS I think I might retire that design at V0.4 and run with the RS (If I can still get one at the launch price that is?)
@Barry_McCreadie do you know of any way to purchase the SONY R10C?? I was under the impression it wasnāt a consumer product and was developed by Sony with/for 3DR?
@Scott_Walls@jmiranda@Sylvain_POULAIN sure thing, happy to share them. I just need to make some minor changes to the base of the base station first though. Iāve noticed that after 5 months the thin base has warped slightly during the fluctuating temperatures over summer. So for V0.5 Iāll add some ribs to give it extra strength.
Iāve optimized all parts on both the camera mount and base station to be printed without the need for any supports, so easy to print on any printer.
Hi all. How long is the flight 3DR on one battery with the A6000? I want to buy solo for 3DR mapping to replace the Phantom 2. I will be glad to receive any information about the 3dr.
@Barry_McCreadie thatās great news. Where are you based? Iāll have to check if any Sony dealers here in New Zealand can get them. If not then I might have to see if I could get one through you to do some testing to compare with the a6000.
Simon, no worries, I am in the UK, shipping may be a prohibitive factor! I am expecting some feedback on stock this week. But i have to mention that for Kiwis we charge 4 times the price, just because your rugby team is so annoyingly good.
I recommend you to check Sony A6000 Manual to get great and complete information about Camera Shutter Triggering for Sony MultiPort Connectors using Seagull #MAP.
@Barry_McCreadie Has there been more development for consumer commercialization of the R10C? Or is it possible to get one in Canada?
@Yorke Did you received the R10C? Have you made some test? Also, if possible, I would be really happy to get the 3D printing plans for the a6000 support and for the Reach.
Alex, it has been quite a journey, and i have still get one landed on my desk, they are asking heaps of questionsā¦i didnāt expect this. I will get an update this week for sure.
I would be interested in a copy of the file for the A6000 mount if youāre willing to provide it. Also, did you ever incorporate the Maxtena antenna into your setup? If so, where did you end up getting it from. Thanks, Steve
