Attention: RC-CAM.com will be closing down August 2021.

The RC-Cam.com forum was the very first online community dedicated to the advancement of wireless video cameras on radio controlled (R/C) models. This is now called "FPV" (First Person View). We are proud of the contributions that our members have made to the FPV hobby.

We've seen significant changes over the last twenty years. Initially there were a lot of eager R/C hobbyist that built their own video systems. Allowing these creative individuals to share their work was the purpose of this site. Now the FPV market is flooded with low cost systems; Sadly DiY FPV video projects are now rarely discussed.

RC-CAM.com (main site and forum) will be closing down August 2021. This is being announced now (March 2021) so that everyone has time to download any information that is important to them. After the site is shutdown the information will no longer be available here.

We appreciate every member's involvement with advancing the FPV hobby. It is indeed sad to say goodbye to all our online friends. Be safe and stay healthy.

You could build a voltage regulator to replace the 2-cell battery pack. In some installations your R/C Rx may experience EMI/RFI with the direct connection, so add some LC filtering if needed. Frankly, it is much easier to stick 2-cells in the camera.

The camera will run off the USB port voltage with out battery. Does this mean that there is a voltage

regulator in camera? Is the USB port 5v dc? I would like to use receiver pack to power this project. I can put some filtering in the B+ line. WCP

There is a 5V DC-DC buck switcher on the USB port for use with the HOST PC. You will not be able to use this port for standalone camera operation.
