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?

  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.

      APM is communicating with MissionPlanner via your telemetry radio.

        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?

        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.

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