Hey, Thanks for the additional heads up on the video connection. Mine should be rolling in soon and I'll have trouble keeping my hans off of it. ')Kampala69 wrote:COCK-UP ALERT!!
Have just received my SecurityCamera2000 Sony 600TVL camera, and proceeded to wire it up to my own 1st version of the back-pack. I got no pictures!
Included with the camera was another small power/video lead, with the little white plug each end, so I cut that up to link to my board.
Beware.. each end is wired as a mirror image, so one end will have the positive and video connections the wrong way round. I used the wrong end!!
Luckily the camera wasn't damaged. Match the correct end of the small lead to the bigger BNC connector to decide which end to use.
Phil.

I recently made one for myself of my own design. OK it is not the smallest pod, but works fine on models maybe over a Kg. Weighs in at about 100g. I waterproofed the heck out of it since I live on the ocean and too many trees here to fly inland, mostly. conformal coated all the circuit boards, sealed it all in a waterproof housing (bottom of a Listerine bottle). it is 200mW 5.8, a board cam and HK super simple OSD. Has a JST pigtal to plug a 3S into, or run it off the main battery as I always do. Has a strap for a keychain cam or maybe run a Replay HD on top. I plan to make a 2nd pod like it with 1280MHz and a GPS OSD eventually.
part of it was melted in a big seaplane fire I had recently - but the pod is OK.
