Geotag images taken by Siyi gimbal/cameras

Hi @jstroup1986,

Yes, as long as the Siyi camera is setup according to the AP wiki it should be using the Siyi serial protocol and AP sends the vehicle’s location and attitude to the camera gimbal and with recent versions of the Siyi camera gimbal firmware, images on the SD Card have the correct EXIF location data. Sadly they don’t include the vehicle’s heading so I normally force the vehicle to be facing North.

Having the EXIF data was critical for my TAP-J team’s success at the Japan Innovation Challenge.

Hope that helps

P.S. I think perhaps the Siyi setup docs also include instructions for using a MAVLink interface but we strongly recommend following the AP setup instructions which uses the Siyi serial interface.
