Hi!
I'm about to get my Inspire by Christmas hopefully. Already have a Phantom, and have been doing FPV with a GoPro, anti vibration mount, OSD, TX, RX, etc. So the RTF Inspire should be a great help making things simpler and better integrated, meaning less setup time and more time in the air.
However, I need to know two things. First, what power is provided to the camera? Second, what video interface is expected out of the camera?
I will sometimes mount a FLIR thermal infrared sensor instead of the camera to do building insulation inspection, at night, in winter. It's much quieter and cheaper than flying in with a real chopper and my Fluke TiS, and less risky than climbing onto rooftops on snow and ice.
So before I go ahead and order an expensive sensor and lens I need to be sure which interface I need to use. Analog video, 1-wire LVDS, 2 wire LVDS, CMOS, RS232, API, etc. I want to use the provided gimbal if possible and just have the option of a different camera. If needed I will buy a spare gimbal and camera to have both options (original camera or thermal) field mountable.
This would also prove invaluable to help locate and rescue lost pets, children, people in the forest or mountains.
I could look at the signals out of the camera to figure out what's what, but this is just taking more time.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Eric |
