Does 3DR IRIS support other cameras besides GoPro?

Posted by Chuck Stein on December 31, 2013 at 2:10pm

I am considering a 3DR IRIS for use (initially) for straight-down photography for mosaicing images into high resolution maps. I am concerned that the GoPro, with its wide angle lens will not give me as good a quality as perhaps a Canon SX260 or similar (after lens correction processing).

Can you mount a camera other than the GoPro on Iris?

Does the Tarot Brushless Gimbal Kit work with other cameras?

Any and all advice welcomed.

Thanks, chuck

IRIS has 425 g (.9 lb) payload capacity, Cannon SX260 is 231g (including the battery and memory card), so hopefully IRIS can carry it.

I would think the sx260 is a bit heavy for the iris and you can't use it with a tarot its just to big.
