# Cameras
|
|
|
|
Cameras are important for many [payload use cases](../payloads/use_cases.md), including mapping and surveying, surveillance, search & rescue, crop health and pest detection, and so on.
|
|
They are commonly mounted on a [gimbal](../advanced/gimbal_control.md) that can provide camera stabilisation, point tracking, and movement independent of the hosting vehicle.
|
|
|
|
## Camera Types
|
|
|
|
PX4 integrates with three types of cameras:
|
|
|
|
- [MAVLink cameras](../camera/mavlink_v2_camera.md) that support the [Camera Protocol v2](https://mavlink.io/en/services/camera.html) (**RECOMMENDED**).
|
|
- [Simple MAVLink cameras](../camera/mavlink_v1_camera.md) that support the older [Camera Protocol v1](https://mavlink.io/en/services/camera.html).
|
|
- [Cameras attached to flight controller outputs](../camera/fc_connected_camera.md), which are controlled using the [Camera Protocol v1](https://mavlink.io/en/services/camera.html).
|
|
|
|
[MAVLink cameras](../camera/mavlink_v2_camera.md) are recommended because they provide the broadest access to camera features using a simple and consistent command/message set.
|
|
If a camera does not support this prototol, a [camera manager](../camera/mavlink_v2_camera.md#camera-managers) running on a companion computer can be used to interface between MAVLink and the camera's native protocol.
