17. USING A CAMERA
17.1 Introduction
You have the possibility to attach a camera to the »Xtreme by using the “RC Logger Aerial Kit”
(89064RC). The “Aerial Kit” is not supplied with the »Xtreme. However, it is described here
in detail as it is a necessary accessory when intending to attach a camera to the »Xtreme.
The entire chapter will explain to you how to prepare the »Xtreme for use with a camera.
The camera to be attached must be self-sufficient. Excepted is the RC Logger camera
“RC EYE OneCam TX” (89049RC), which can be supplied with power via the »Xtreme’s
flight battery and adapter (89080RC).
17.2 Aerial kit
17.2.1 Aerial kit explained
17.2.1.1 Camera tray
The “Aerial Kit” will modify the »Xtreme in such a way that a camera can be attached.
>
The supplied camera tray is a platform attachment to which you can attach a camera
of suitable size and weight. Observe chapter “12. Weights and payload” on page 17.
>
For instructions on how to attach the camera tray, refer to section “17.2.2 Attaching the
camera tray” on page 39.
17.2.1.2 Legs
>
The supplied legs are longer than the standard ones and sufficiently increase the
clearance between camera tray and ground.
>
For instructions on how to replace the legs, refer to section “17.2.3 Replacing legs” on
page 39.
17.2.1.3 Propellers
>
The standard propellers do not provide enough lift to carry a camera. Therefore, a set of
larger propellers help increase lift, which in turn allow for a larger payload.
>
For instructions on how to replace propellers, refer to section “19.3.1 Replacing
propellers” on page 53.
17.2.2 Attaching the camera tray
>
The camera tray can be mounted without any further modification on the »Xtreme.
Carefully turn the »Xtreme upside down and place it on a soft surface. Study the
diagrams from section “17.3 Attaching the camera” on page 41.
>
Carefully guide the tray down the guiding rods until the clips lock.
Watch out! Be
sure to sufficiently support the »Xtreme’s body while fixing the tray so as not to
damage the legs.
>
To later remove the tray, release the clips and carefully pull the tray off the »Xtreme.
17.2.3 Replacing legs
17.2.3.1 Direction
Mind the colour coding of the legs
Note that the
RED LEGS
indicate front. The
BLACK LEGS
indicate rear. When replacing
the legs do not mix them up.
17.2.3.2 Replacement process
To replace the legs a small cross-headed screw driver is required (not supplied). Follow
the illustration
[ Fig. 22 ]
, which explains the replacement process. Do not overtighten the
screws.
