General information 

With Seagull #MAP2 you can easily trigger your camera – either with your R/C transmitter from the ground, or let your Flight 
Controller do the job. 

Seagull #MAP2 is designed to connect your UAV mounted camera to an R/C receiver or Flight Controller and be able to 
trigger the camera either from a dedicated switch on your R/C transmitter - or automated by your Flight Controller for doing 
for example image mapping, agriculture analysis, 3D modelling and more. 

Seagull #MAP2 features 6 modes: 
 

AF-T 

 

( Autofocus-Trigger, 1 sec pre-AF then trigger ) 

IS-T

  ( Instant-Trigger, instant trigger as soon as camera locks focus ) 

Camera On/Off

 ( Turn camera power on/off – 

only with Sony "Multi" cameras

! ) 

Timelapse 

( Shutter release with variable time interval ) 

Keep-alive 

( QX1 camera keep-alive function, prevents camera from shutting off )

Example with Seagull #MAP2 configured to CH7 on a Taranis X9D transmitter: 

 

 

* Only with Sony "Multi" cameras ! 
On/Off function is placed at either extremes of the signal 
range to be able to utilize a 3-position switch and still reach 
both trigger functions. 
 

** Signal out of scope or no input signal !  
No signal state will occur when signal is out of the  
standard R/C PWM signal range or if no signal is received.
