Camera operator GCS (option)
Figure 2.6: Camera operator overview
A camera operator can assist the pilot to act as a copilot relieving the pilot from all other tasks than piloting.
In dual GCS mode, the pilot GCS controls the movement of the aircraft while the camera operator controls the
camera settings, pitch angle, and lighting. At any time, the pilot can override the camera operator command.
Both the Pilot and Camera Operator GCS receive the live video feed directly from the drone. If the Camera
operator GCS is used in combination with the Range Extender antenna module, then the Camera Operator
must use the WIFI video stream directly from the Pilot GCS table. This can be enabled in the Cockpit App.
The buttons on the Camera Operator GCS, have the same functions as on the Pilot GCS, but all inputs which
control the drone’s flight are disabled. The only exception to this is that the Camera Operator is also capable
of disarming the drone.
Any ELIOS GCS unit can be reconfigured by the user to serve as a camera operator unit. Refer to the Advanced
Setup section for information on how to set this up.
