<12volt Camera in US?

Hey All,

 

We are building a quadrotor and want to add streaming cameras to the bird. We are currently using 11.1v LiPo batteries and can't have a 12v camera. We have seen the readymaderc ones that are 12v and they look great, but we don't want to add any more weight to the system and our current power supply just wont cut it. Does anybody have a suggestion for a 5v camera that we can get stateside? Most of the solutions come China and are illegal due to the channel frequencies allowed. 

 

Thanks!

    You know that your lipo usually puts out 12.6 - 11.1v, right? And that you will most likely need to regulate the power, because if you tap directly into your flight power, it will be jumping all over the place anyways from the draw from the motor...

     

    Is it just that you have "11.1v batteries" that makes you decide to not use a 12v camera?
