Making 6K Drone Camera Compatible With Handheld Unit for Live Video Processing

Hi all, Here's what I'm trying to do. There is a beautiful 6K drone camera that currently only communicates with one drone. I want it to communicate with a handheld camera. The same company that makes the camera makes a handheld unit that can do the job, but for proprietary purposes they aren't making them compatible. The challenges are: 1. There is no adapter so the camera currently can't communicate with the handheld unit. 2. The camera shoots very data-heavy footage that needs to be immediately processed somewhere in order to film for an extended period of time. That processing is only done on the drone as of now. Note: Similar processing is also done aboard an older model of the camera called. I'd like to make an adapter for the camera so it can work with the handheld unit (thus allowing the camera to pan, tilt, film etc.) and also process video somehow—either by ripping the drone body apart of using the old camera's design.Is this possible? Would it infringe on proprietary rights if we develop an adapter? How difficult and how long would this take? What's the cost? Finally, who can help me? Best, Mads

I'm sure it would be possible to do what you want but is likely to be more difficult than it's worth.

To make an adapter you would have to learn the interface requirements and that would likely infringe on propitiatory rights. I doubt that you would get in trouble to do this for yourself but to sell something like this would likely get you in trouble.

If you are willing to destroy a drone, you could just take the electronics and connector bits and repackage so you could use as a handheld camera...
