# Using the Camera Control Laptop

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S6a10bvINBzbWEzvHTPLF24JJ8idTUuP/view?usp=sharing>" %}

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.

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
