Description

The Seagull UAV #REC is a dedicated interface module designed to bridge professional flight control systems with Sony cameras equipped with the MULTI accessory terminal. It translates standard R/C PWM servo signals (1000–2000µS) into precise camera commands, allowing pilots to trigger complex shooting sequences without manual intervention.

Engineered for reliability in UAV environments, its circuit is protected for input voltages up to 16V, with a recommended 5V supply. The ultra-compact PCB footprint and minimal weight ensure it can be integrated into even tightly packed aerial photography or mapping drones without affecting flight performance or balance.

Key Features

  • PWM-to-MULTI protocol translator for seamless camera automation.
  • Robust power handling with reverse polarity and over-voltage protection.
  • Ultra-lightweight 4-gram construction for negligible payload impact.
  • Multi-functional support for video recording, still photography, and optical zoom.
  • Direct compatibility with ArduPilot/PX4 MAVLink camera trigger outputs.
  • Optional power sourcing from the camera itself for simplified wiring.
  • Durable PCB with conformal coating for resistance to moisture and vibration.

Applications

  • Aerial mapping and photogrammetry drones using Sony Alpha or RX series cameras.
  • Cinematic FPV and drone photography rigs requiring in-flight camera control.
  • Search and rescue (SAR) UAVs where operator-triggered zoom or photo capture is critical.
  • Industrial inspection platforms with automated, waypoint-based image capture sequences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cameras are compatible with the Seagull UAV #REC controller?

The #REC controller is specifically designed for Sony cameras equipped with the MULTI accessory terminal (also labeled as 'Multi Interface Shoe'). This includes many Alpha mirrorless and RX series compact cameras. It translates PWM signals into the proprietary Sony control protocol for functions like recording, zoom, and shutter.

How do I power the #REC controller and what are the voltage limits?

You can power the #REC from your flight controller's 5V BEC (recommended) or any source between 3.6V and 16V. It draws an average of 25mA. Crucially, you must NOT exceed 16V input, as this will damage the unit. It also supports being powered directly from the camera itself if the camera's MULTI port provides power.

How do I connect the #REC to a Pixhawk flight controller?

Connect the #REC's signal wire to a free PWM output on your Pixhawk (e.g., MAIN OUT 5-8 or AUX OUT). Provide 5V and GND from the Pixhawk's power rail. In your ground control station (e.g., Mission Planner), configure the corresponding output as a 'Camera Trigger' or 'Servo' function, setting the PWM pulse values to match the #REC's documented commands for desired actions like photo capture.
