Camera and Gimbal Setup Suggestions?

Hi. This is my first post. My son and I have built a nice quad that flies well using a Pixhawk 1 and PX4. Its time now to add a camera and I am totally in the dark as to what to do and how to link it to the Pixhawk and QGroundcontrol. We have a Hero5 camera we can use and i would like to be able to eventually…

  • Send it on mission and take photos at specified locations and intervals.
  • Control camera, its view direction and see what it sees in QGroundcontrol, start stop video and take photos.

Suggestions or links are welcome.

PS: If any one is interested here is a short video of its first mission. This is Version 6 after many fails with wood and balsa frames. Which still flew well but did not survive crashes. https://youtu.be/GWEG4ZspZOE
