To trigger or control a camera / video camera with IR-receiver or LANC,  the IR-Ctrl can be used. 
IR-Ctrl may either be purchased with an IR sensor or a LANC terminal. This allows to send a total of 4 control commands
to the used camera / video camera.

The connection to the FlightCtrl of both versions is identical.
