Custom Drones and Cameras (Matrice 210, XT2 thermal, Zenmuse Z30)

Ed

Hello,

Newbie here. I love DroneLink, it's beautiful. Great work fellas.

I have a request.

I work with a nonprofit and we do mainly search and rescue missions and wildlife observation. We use the DJI Matrice 210 with the XT2 thermal camera and the Zenmuse Z30 camera.  It would be nice if that hardware could be added to the standard library of drones/cameras -- I don't see those as options.  I can add it as a custom camera, but it would be nice to see it in the standard hardware list of cameras/drones.

Thank you. :-)

    I don't see the lens or sensor width/height or focal lengths listed in that information.

    The XT2 comes in different flavors (13mm, 19mm, and 25mm) and also (640x512, and also 330x206 pixels). But here is the XT2 (640x512 resolution, 13mm) specs (the one we use is in bold):

    XT2 640 × 512 - 13 mm FOV 45° × 37°, f/1.25
    XT2 640 × 512 - 19 mm FOV 32° × 26°
    XT2 640 × 512 - 25 mm FOV 25° × 20°

    Thank you.
