I think what Rodrigo wants is planning a mission through mission planner but flying the mission using manned aircraft, then the camera autocatically triggered and logged by an apm or pixhawk.
My opinion; it will be totally possible, connect apm+gps+camera+power module etc, set your camera trigger distance is simulated on mission planner. You don't need telemetry at all. I have try this a months ago when bulding my quad to test the camera trigger working.

Hi,
Rodrigo - how did this work out for you?
I need to do the exact same thing. Cant use a drone for a corridor that client needs mapped, so want to use a manned helicopter.
And, if you were successful, did the Canon 7D work Ok for you?
To do what?
Hi! to do photogrametry photos...
I wanted the software to trigger my Cannon 7D etc..but I'll be running the Mission Planner inside plane.
But I'll really need the radio?
Isn't just a way to connect a GPS directly to the Mission Planner?
...and Mission Planner (and the APM/Pixhawk) is used for what? Logging?

because here there we are going to do the job the UAV flights are prohibited. So It need to be using Conventional Aircraft.
