1 Leica RC30 Aerial Camera System Overview The Leica RC30 is an aerial film camera system of top quality and performance, capable of acquiring the very best aerial photographs with black and white, color and false color aerial film. There are two lens options, with 6-inch and 12-inch focal lengths. Forward motion compensation, automatic exposure control and film data recording are provided as a standard feature. A comprehensive range of accessories includes filters, navigation sights and video intervalomers. The camera is part of an overall system, which may comprise of the Leica PAV30 gyro-stabilized mount, the Leica ASCOT Aerial Survey Control Tool, a GPS reference station, a GPS/IMU position and orientation system, and an optical window for pressurized aircraft.
