Possible camera orientations for Starling 2 Max dev drone

[Dylan Gresham]

I'm planning to purchase a Starling 2 Max dev drone but I want to verify that the camera that comes with it can be rotated to be downward-facing rather than front-facing. It looks like you can from some of the product page's showcase images but I can't find any documentation that describes the process or that this is a built-in feature. Confirmation or insight into this would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi @Dylan-Gresham,

Starling 2 Max ships with cameras in both directions already. The C28 config is two IMX412 4K color cameras and two AR0144 tracking cameras, one of each facing forward and one of each facing downward, so you get a front and a down view at the same time without moving anything. The camera names in the config are hires_front, hires_down, tracking_front, and tracking_down: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/blob/master/misc_files/usr/share/modalai/voxl-camera-server/standard_configs/voxl2/platform_config_1/28 - M0173 Starling 2 Max dual IMX412 %2B dual AR0144

If you are asking about something different, can you point to the product image you are looking at and describe what you want to do? For example, physically re-mounting the front 4K camera to point down, or tilting it. That will help us give you a precise answer.
