I don’t know. I only have an old Xiomi Yi action cam and haven’t used it in some years. Hopefully someone else can help you with that.

I saw this thread with same cam:

Mission planner camera trigger setup issues

Hi Mike. Got it to work though trial and error! I noticed that somehow the Pushed and Not pushed limits were inverted. When I lowered the value for not pushed the camera will start the counter and take a picture so I raised the non pushed value until it stopped shooting. I also lowered the pushed value below the PWM value shown on the remote control callibration values. I did notice something though. In order for the shutter to work with the SJ camera, you had to set the shutter time way a…

He got it work, i dont know how.

Hi experts, thank you all for your inputs. I got the camera to work. But manual trigger using my radio transmitter. I used the CH7 and switch that has 3 options. If the switch stays in the middle the camera is idle, is your push it below the video will be triggered. If push above, it will take a photo, and if you live the switch up it will take a photo every 5 after 5 seconds.

I used the MAIN AUX 8 on the Servo output on the Mission Planner and set it to RCIN7, also enable camera_trigger on the CH7.
