@Macsgrafs...any suggestions? I ordered the Sony one (only one available at Quadrocopter.us) which has these specs: Image Device:1/3" Sony *420/460TVL Scanning System:NTSC:525 Lines.60 Field/Sec PAL: 625 Lines 50 Field/Sec Video Output:1Vp-p 75ohm White Balance:Auto Gamma Characteristic:0.45...

But of course!

Small triumph...I soldered together my MK-USB and plugged the FC into my computer's USB board and behold...lights!

Thanks, DroneBuilder! I flung a piece of hot solder across my table when I first pulled the wires! I'm still learning the properties of the stuff. I can see why goggles are recommended :cool: I have this battery that I intended to use for the ground station Rx. I could use a similar one on...

Okay, I've fixed my solders (the new 60W iron works a charm) and added heat shrink so there won't be any chance of whiskers. I've soldered wires into the +/- on 2 of the extra pads for powering my video Tx and FPV cam. Was that the right thing to do? Instructions are so sparse. Should I...

thanks for facilitating this great community, Bart!

You probably mean the 'jelly effect' when panning form side to side. There are some comparison videos out there. I did a lot of camera research before buying my GH2 and bought it for it's awesome video capabilities and performance. Comparable even to the almighty 5Dmk2 and at less than half the...

Yeah, why is everyone telling Ross? :D Thanks for the tips, guys! I will get a hotter iron, I guess, because that's exactly what was happening...the solder wasn't bonding to the wire but the wire itself was getting very hot. Cheers! Chris PS DroneBuilder, I did see that 9V tip on a...

Thanks, Ross. Those fat wires were such a pain to tin. It really takes some time to get them hot enough. Thanks for the advice! Do you think I could just tape up the exposed parts or better to re-solder?

First bit of soldering went okay! I've never done it before but a friend who had a shred more experience than me (more than never) came by to help. I found that it was difficult to get the pads hot enough to melt the solder and on a couple of pads it didn't stick well until a couple of tries...

Wow...very nice, Jeff! Thats a big camera you're flying around. What's your total payload?

Okay, I'm going to start soldering the motor wires. I will solder the red outrigger motor to #1 and move clockwise from there according to the picture I posted above. If I am doing this wrong, please, please post on here and let me know. I don't want to muck this up. Cheers! Chris I still...

What are you flying, Av8Chuck? I saw that the camera was a 7D.
