Open Source Aerial Camera System
Affordable Aerial Photography
The OSAC system leverages off the shelf components with our custom core components to assemble a fully capable aerial photo and video system for collecting vertical imagery. The modular system ties together a Garmin GPS receiver for flight-line navigation and camera waypoint triggering, a Canon EOS camera for outstanding imagery, and a tablet or notebook computer for exposure control, through the lens live viewing, recording and downloading imagery, and reviewing collected imagery in flight.
