MAVSDK-Python gRPC examples: Camera modes and capture

Select camera photo/video modes and issue capture/recording commands. Inspect exact upstream setup and terms before use.

mavsdk-python-examples-camera-py | Record version: source-3a5f6b13bad109ff0490f4c00868d811baff497f35bb29def2f57842afb07726

Record JSON | Markdown | Pinned upstream source

Access

Fetch the pinned repository, verify this source checksum, and use upstream installation and invocation. This record does not install or execute code.

For one verified inert file, use the installed CLI's inspect response fetch_source_args and append --project DIR --json. Source-file retrieval creates no environment and does not install or run the source.

Hub preparation adapter: false. Follow the upstream setup and invocation contract.

Invocation

{
  "entrypoint": "python examples/camera.py",
  "notes": "Use the pinned gRPC-wrapper setup: current sources import mavsdk_grpc, not the unrelated native mavsdk v4 binding. Upstream build may download mavsdk_server and connect() may launch it. Review selected connection addresses and motion/mission values. No installation, server, simulator or vehicle was run or contacted."
}

Explicit compatibility

[]

Missing environment fields remain unknown. Discovery labels do not establish robot compatibility.

Evidence

Level: source_reviewed; runtime verification: not_run.

Verified exact source, applicable license and author/setup document bytes at a full Git commit; parsed the Python AST and reviewed this guarded operational entrypoint and its explicit license notices. No upstream code, installation, robot command, dataset, mesh or checkpoint was executed or loaded.

Source review and contributor reports do not establish task completion. Preserve upstream attribution and licenses.
