Camera with prime lens- NEW
We now offer a professional quality digital camera for the AscTec Falcon 8 system.
When released the Sony NEX-5 received a lot of attention. Sensors that where only available in DSLR cameras are now in a much smaller, lighter body: the Sony NEX-5. In combination with a lens with 16 mm fixed focal length, even in poor lighting and twilight conditions you can still obtain high quality images with low noise. With a customized video converter, external power supply and infrared trigger, the camera is perfectly integrated into the system. The camera can be triggered from the Mobile Ground Station. The live preview is also displayed on the Mobile Ground Station.
Camera with zoom lens
The Panasonic Lumix LX-5 digital camera has proven its reliability and image quality for a long time, much like its predecessor. It is unbeatable in its class of weight. The feature to operate zoom from the Mobile Ground Station has won over many customers. This is the camera for every day use in most conditions.
