EASY AS NEVER BEFOREEffortless geotagging saves a lot of time
The Entire is fully automated geotagging solution, without any user action will handle whole geotagging process during drone flight. Entire will save GPS coordinates of each photo and also camera angles to the EXIF and XMP information of each capture taken by the camera without any users interaction. Save time, do more!
Direct EXIF GeotaggingGPS | RTK | Angles | Distance
AIR Commander Entire also does complex task of geotagging for all photos you will take during the flight. Geotagging features are available for Sony cameras, PhaseOne Industrial cameras and also for Workswell Wiris cameras.
GPS geotagging
AIR Commander Entire is able to read GPS coordinates from your flight controller (DJI or PixHawk) and save them to the EXIF of each photo you will take. Does not matter if you use basic GPS or RTK system. If you use RTK, you will get centimeter level precision geotags with Latitude Longtitude and Heading in the EXIF.
ATTITUDE tagging
What more, Entire can read also very accurate camera attitude and write it to the XMP of each photo. Camera angles can be read from DJI flight controller with supported DJI gimbal like Ronin, but also from Gremsy gimbals via COM port and newly also from SimpleBGC via MavLink connection. Entire can and geotag absolute values of Roll, Pitch and Yaw (heading).

Subject Distance EXIF tagging
Entire is also compatible with LightWare range finders! Simply connect the laser distance sensor like LightWare LW20 to the Entire. Align the laser beam with camera and each photo triggered will be geotagged with actual laser distance right to the EXIF. This feature is handy for aplications of crack size measurement or precise altitude measurement. Distance EXIF tagging is only available for Sony and ADTi cameras.
DJI drones
DJI API
For DJI drones the Entire reads all GPS / RTK position, frame attitude and gimbal angles from API port of flight controller. API output is available on majority of DJI drones with removable gimbal. Basically you can use any drone driven by A3 / N3 unit, DJI M600 or smaller DJI M-series.
PIXHAWK drones
MavLink
For PixHawk driven drones is MavLink the base communication bus. Entire can read GPS position or RTK information from the flight controller and save them for geotagging. MavLink is also used to read gimbal angles from Gremsy gimbals or SimpleBGC gimbals.
External GPS/RTK
NMEA / ERB
You don't need to have drone connection to get precise GPS coordinates. You can also use any NMEA compatible GPS/RTK receiver. Entire also supports ERB protocol of EMLID and can be used for Geotagging. This approach is frequently used for handheld geotagging scenarios.
How worksGeotagging for Sony, Canon and ADTi cameras
Geotagging process for Sony and Canon cameras is separated to three stages. First stage is initiated automatically once drone takes off. Camera is connected and Entire scan SD card for latest photo type and number. Then, during the flight, Entire trigger photos and detect exact moment of capture from the hotshoe sensor. There is no posibility to miss a trigger. Per each detected photo Entire saves accurate GPS, drone frame angles, camera angles, heading and optionally also RangeFinder distance measurement. Once drone lands, Entire automatically stops Geotagging session and writes data to the EXIF and XMP of each JPG or ARW in camera SD Card. Additionally, Entire saves text backup files to the camera SD card with all information known about photos (not available for Canon). Second backup file is written to Entire's SD card if inserted. Third backup file can be downloaded from the Entire via web settings page after landing.

How worksGeotagging for PhaseOne Industrial Cameras
Geotagging works different way for PhaseOne & ViewPro cameras. There is no need to initialize geotagging process, and also no need to geotag photos after landing. In case of PhaseOne & ViewPro geotagging works on-the-fly. All photos are geotagged immediately with GPS and attitude.
Full camera control via iXLink
Entire is able to control all exposure parameters, focusing (manual or AF), for all PhaseOne Industrial cameras equipped by iX Link port.
Camera angles in the EXIF
The Entire reads actual camera angles from Gremsy gimbals, SimpleBGC powered gimbals or DJI Ronin. These data are converted into the camera language and continuously provided for geotagging.
How worksGeotagging for ViewPro Cameras
Geotagging works different way for PhaseOne & ViewPro cameras. There is no need to initialize geotagging process, and also no need to geotag photos after landing. In case of PhaseOne & ViewPro geotagging works on-the-fly. All photos are geotagged immediately with GPS and attitude.
Full camera control via ViewLink
Entire is able to control exposure correction, focusing (manual or AF), switch visible or thermal modes, enable Near Infrared mode, control object tracking and many more for all ViewPro cameras equipped with Serial control port.
GPS & Time in the EXIF
The Entire reads actual GPS position and GPS time and convert this information to camera language for geotagging.
