Open Source Aerial Camera System

The Open Source Aerial Camera System is a complete vertical aerial photography system. The system includes a digital camera, GPS Photo Flight Management System for survey flight navigation and camera triggering (see below), and cockpit computer system. The camera can be mounted in a conventional aircraft photo port or in the CessnaCam pod, and the computer and nav system permits remote operation of exposure control, image recording and downloading, video capture, viewfinder operation for pilot and operator to see exactly what the camera is viewing, and pilot photo flight navigation. Depending upon the camera option chosen, the system can support full1080 Hi Def video recording. Prices start at $6999 for a complete system, and half that if you already have a compatible camera, computer, and GPS receiver.

GPS Photo Flight Management System

Our GPS Photo Coupler aerial camera flight management system (FMS) provides pilot navigation and automatic aerial camera triggering at predetermined GPS geographic coordinates in order to navigate single photo sites, photo lines, and blocks of photo lines for aerial photography. The GPS Photo FMS utilizes Garmin aviation GPS receivers familiar to most pilots, combined with our proprietary Photo Coupler electronic hardware for camera triggering from the Garmin, and COTS software for flight planning and uploading flight plans. Just add your own camera or sensor system to make a complete aerial photography platform. Prices start at $1799.

The system is compatible with most small and medium format digital cameras, and can be adapted to other sensors.
