If you have purchased a Camera Control Laptop, you can run the CCA3 application for both video and camera control on the Camera Control Laptop. This system comes with a gamepad for camera control and offers a touch-screen for mission planning, UAV control, and camera control.

If you want to ground-test the setup and your DeltaQuad Pro #VIEW has a camera with a thermal sensor, make sure that the camera gets enough cooling through an air stream provided by a small USB fan or something similar.

To use the Camera Control Laptop you will need the following items:

  • The DeltaQuad Pro (The vehicle needs to be powered and a connection must be established with the DeltaQuad Controller.)

  • The DeltaQuad Controller

  • The ruggedized laptop that was provided with your DeltaQuad Pro

  • The gamepad

  • An internet connection for both, the DeltaQuad Controller and the Camera Control Laptop

You can use the Camera Control Laptop either locally or remotely. When using the laptop on-site, the DeltaQuad controller and the Camera Control Laptop should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot.

Setting up the Camera Control Laptop

  • Connect the gamepad to the laptop via the USB connection.

Do not connect the gamepad to the DeltaQuad Controller as this is not supported.

  • Open and start up the Linux-based laptop.

  • You need to start up two applications: CCA3 and the Connection Manager.

You have three different options to establish a connection between the DeltaQuad Controller and the Camera Control Laptop:
