    @pmeras , the connector specs are provided here : https://docs.modalai.com/micro-coax-user-guide/ . Specifically, the connector part number is DF56C-26S-0.3V(51).

    You can find some more information regarding the cable pinout for our hires camera here : https://docs.modalai.com/M0186/

    We do not manufacture custom cables, just the ones used in our VOXL camera ecosystem.

    Hi Sir,

    How can I get the "Image Sensor Hardware Design and Integration Guide" documents.

    Thanks!

    @Alex-Kushleyev I am wondering why you are using custom lens holders. Is that because standard ones does not fit? Or is it because of quality or other reason?

    @cguzikowski , quick question for you. For your application, does it matter how much time (reasonable) it takes to debayer the image? some of my offline processing scripts are not optimized for real-time operation, but are very flexible to use and the full resolution image from ov64b is huge and it may take a few seconds to process without optimizations.

    We also have opencl code that runs offline pretty quick on an nvidia GPU, but it does not have as many tuning knobs.

    I guess it all depends on whether you are using the images right on the voxl2 or just collecting and analyzing offline at a later time.

    Hello,

    I’m currently designing a compact indoor-use kit around the Starling 2 platform, specifically the Starling 2, not the Starling 2 Max.

    I would like to add a few additional lightweight sensors to the drone, but I could not find a clear specification in the datasheet for the available payload capacity or recommended payload margin.

    Could you please clarify:

    What is the maximum recommended additional payload for the Starling 2? Is the published drone weight already close to the practical lift limit, or is there usable margin for small external sensors? Are there any recommended limits regarding added mass, mounting location, or center-of-gravity shift? Would adding small sensors affect flight stability, flight time, or PX4 tuning in a way that you recommend avoiding? Do you have any other compact indoor-capable drone models that may be better suited for carrying additional sensors while still staying smaller than the Starling 2 Max? (Maybe the Stinger FPV?)

    At this stage I am still in the design phase, so I do not yet have flight logs. I can share the planned sensor weights, mounting concept, and pictures/CAD layout if that would help.

    Thanks in advance
