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 was announced several months ago (March 2021) to allow our members ample 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.

I've recently acquired a FCO2 that had been reverse polarized. Upon inspection there was a smd electronic component blown. Thinking it was a diode, I replaced it with a diode I had laying around (4001). No go on that one. Upon further inspection I noticed the symbol I( with C79 beside it.

I than tried a 47uf50v cap in its place and viola working FCO2. Now I get to work to play some more and the cap had fallen off but all still works. The cap is located next to the positive lead of the lipo.

Question being any thoughts on what it did? Attached is a pic of the blown cap, left side positive lead. Thanks as always
