Paralight was designed so that standard photographic equipment could be attached with ease, within the craft’s weight restrictions. There is a wide array of lenses and miniature cameras currently available that constitute an efficient medium for aerial photography. These can be connected to a transmitter for relaying the pictures to recording devices such as video cameras, VCRs, or DVDs on the ground. Additionally, any standard video or digital stills camera can be mounted on the craft, with the desired photography mode selected prior to takeoff. The camera can be controlled via a mechanical connection to a servo or an electronic connection between the camera and the receiver, and photography can be managed via the remote control unit.
