The Cam-CTRL Multi Servo is a control board to control cameras and video cameras by using your RC receiver, This module supports the new SONY Multi-Interface.

The Cam-CTRL can be connected to the flight controller (Flight-Ctrl) or used stand alone via an RC receiver.

The camera will start recording via a switch on your remote control and will continue until this switch is turned back to OFF.
This makes the recording much more effective rather than operating it through a start/stop button via the IR port.

This version is smaller and lighter with direct video output connector (with Molex connectors).

Important: This module is foreseen with a Multi connector, present on Sony video cameras since year 2013.

The following functions can be used:

• REC Start/Stop
• Trigger photos
• Zoom-in & out (variable speeds - from very slow to very fast)
• Automatically switch on the camera
• Switch modes (picture to video and vice versa)
• Avoid camera Sleep-mode
• PAL output (only the camcorders with LANC have PAL)
• External status LED can be connected
• Take pictures while filming (if the camera has this feature)

Besides these functionalities, the Cam-CTRL usefully shows the status of the camera and transmits it to the drone (functionality available with MikroKopter flight controllers). This means that a camera-status symbol is displayed in the Graupner-HoTT, Jeti or MKTool telemetry:

• REC active (symbol: R)
• Zoom active
• Number of pictures shot (indication: 0-9)
• Camera is off (or battery is empty) (symbol: !)
• Camcorder is in Photo-Mode and can't capture videos (symbol: P)
• Cable to camera disconnected (symbol: ?)

• Weight: approx. 14g with cables
• Dimensions: 30 x 16 mm
