MOUNTING THE GPS ANTENNA
Make sure you mount the GPS antenna with the top facing up and with a clear view of the sky.
Also make sure that you do not mount the antenna near transmitters on the aircraft that could
cause interference and degrade the performance of the GPS.
Ground plane (optional)
To improve your GPS accuracy, it is recommended that you place a 10 cm diameter round or 10
cm x 10 cm square ground plane under the GPS antenna. This could be as simple as placing
some aluminum tape (that you can buy from a hardware store) around a piece of wood or
cardboard, sticking the antenna to the center of the plate, and attaching that whole assembly to
the top of your aircraft.
PIGTAIL TRIGGER CABLE
If you are not using a camera with a Sony multiport trigger connection, you will have been
provided with a 3-wire (green, white, black) pigtail trigger cable. When the GeoSnap system
sends a trigger command to the camera, it simply shorts the focus (white) and shutter release
(green) lines to ground (black). To make a trigger cable for your camera with this pigtail it is
recommended that you follow these steps:
1. Purchase a stock wired remote for your particular camera model.
2. Cut the stock remote cable 1- 5” from the connector depending on the location of the
wired remote port relative to the GeoSnap hotshoe module.
3. Strip the ends of the stock remote cable wires.
4. Identify which cables in the stock cable relate to Ground, Focus, and Shutter Release.
5. Connect the wires to the provided pigtail trigger cable as follows: Ground -> Black, Focus
-> White, and Shutter Release -> Green.
6. Plug the cable into the camera and the GeoSnap hotshoe module as shown in steps 6
and 7 of the GeoSnap installation procedure above.
