The pilot can be assist by a camera operator. The camera operator acts as a copilot relieving the pilot from
all other task than piloting. In dual GCS mode, the pilot GCS controls the movement of the aircraft whilst
the camera operator controls the camera motion and parameters. At anytime, the pilot can override the
camera operator command. Both of the GCS receive the live video feed.
