I think many users may not know that Mission Planner has two methods for showing live video and both are documented on this live-video wiki page.
The first method is where the video is displayed in place of the HUD. This method has been around since the very early days of the project and makes sense for cases where the camera is hard mounted on the nose of the vehicle. It makes less sense for today’s 3-axis modern camera gimbals… which is why @robertlong13 has added a new custom camera gimbal control screen which can be pulled up by right-mouse-button-clicking on the map and selecting “Gimbal Video”.
One slightly hurdle for potential users is that the autopilot should run the the video-stream-information.lua script which is also documented on the live-video wiki page. Still, maybe we can reduce need for this hurdle in the future.
Thanks very much to Siyi for their support in providing the hardware for this project!
In any case, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
