EASY

This choice is tailored for users uninterested in geotagging or uses other geotagging methods. In this scenario, a single USB-C cable facilitates camera control effortlessly through MavLink, granting you complete control over ILX-LR1 exposure values with ease. In this scenario, you can use third-party geotagging solutions while using ENTIRE R3 only for triggering and controlling the exposure of ILX-LR1 via MavLink.

SIMPLE

With this option, you will have full control over the camera along with precise EXIF geotagging. SIMPLE solution involves utilizing the ILX-LR1's USB-C connection for geotagging and the WiFi connection for camera control. Rest assured, we've fine-tuned this to perfection, ensuring a super-smooth experience!

FULLY HARDWIRED

Also with this option, you will have complete control over the camera, coupled with EXIF geotagging. HARDWIRED solution also uses the ILX-LR1's USB-C connection for geotagging, but for camera control, we've developed a little module that needs to be connected into the camera body. While the installation of the module is straightforward, it does require the camera to be opened.
We will also sell our Sony ILX-LR1 version with module already integrated.

Whether you opt for a gimbal or a fixed mount, we've got the perfect wiring set for you!

Your wiring set selection depends on the camera mount. We offer a dedicated connection set for the Sony ILX-LR1 used in conjunction with Gremsy Pixy-LR. In this setup, ENTIRE R3 is strategically placed in the drone body, near the gimbal quick release. If a gimbal isn't part of your plan, such as in an airplane or VTOL, our direct connection set for ILX-LR1 is the ideal solution. This set provides a straightforward method to connect your ILX-LR1 directly to the ENTIRE and therefore to your Mavlink-equipped flight controller.
