Now i want to configure same camera with AC 4.5.1 with the same method but it is not working
Params attached (not_triggering.param (19.2 KB))

Kindly help me how to resolve this issue.

Can anyone please help me resolve my issues?
I am unable to do camera triggering for my cameras Sony A6100 and FLIR VUE PRO using ArduCopter 4.4 + versions.

Any help in this regards will be very helpful.

What ground controller are you using?

I discovered with my HereLink I had to configure an RC event for the shutter instead of MavLink. I don’t know if this is your difficulty - but it might be worth checking.

QGC on HereLink V1.1 - shoulder button won't do "Trigger Camera"

I have been unable to configure the shoulder button (or any other button) on my HereLink 1.1 to perform the Trigger Camera function. This function does work on the main flight screen using the camera widget. I can’t tell if this is a QGC bug, or if I’ve simply done something wrong in the configuration. Comments? Suggestions? Many Thanks! This works: [trigger] This does not work: [buttons]

Hi @Ali_Qammar,

Sorry for the delay, i’ll have a look at this more closely later but I think you’re using a relay to control the camera and there was a change in 4.3 which required that the SERVOx_FUNCTION be set to -1 (where “x” is the output channel used for the relay).

Hello @rmackay9

Thanks for the solution, now i am able to operate my both cameras separately. As i have already mentioned i am using FLIR VUE PRO using CAM2_type “Servo” and Sony A6100 using CAM1_type “Relay”.
But when i use both the cameras only the camera connected using relay is working, so i have to set anyone of them to “0”.
Is there any solution that i can use the both cameras triggering simultaneously?

Here are my parameters for both the cameras

Thanks.

Hello @rmackay9
Can you please help me find a solution on how to integrate two camera’s triggering simultaneously using CAM1 and CAM2 since one camera operates at servo function and other operates at relay function.
