Couple of questions...

1) Can you remove the lipo and power it from another source (I assume yes)

2) Can you also bypass that USB style connector and just solder a wire for video out?

Not interested in FPV, but can anyone enlighten me on how to trigger static (time lapse) photos with this unit?

It has a one time offer of $92.99

@Steve It looks pretty tight in there you might be able to solder it but I would be very very careful.

I'd go for the mini 808 #16 cam.  It's only $35 and you get 720p video.  This is a video of one of them on one of my rockets:

Here is a manual: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/675927238X158701X3...

Can be used for FPV or is playback only?

Comment by CrashingDutchman on July 11, 2012 at 6:25am

It can be used for FPV and if I read the manual correctly, you can record video on the micro sd card while watching wireless video (you will need a video transmitter/recevier and viewer for that though).

I think we will start seeing some very cool and even good quality cameras in the near future, now that the manufactures have started taking notice of the trend. Just look at the new JVC and Sony sport cameras.

CrashingDutchman: Just a quick heads-up. It hasn't been mentioned lately, but affiliation links are considered bad taste in DIYd blogs. After all we all check the HK front page for new toys daily, so it isn't really news :)

@John: I removed my previous post as I think it was a bit harsh.

What I wanted to say is that might be a DIY forum, but also people opening new shops, people promoting new items they have in for their shops are posting here. Also, I have seen posts from moderators of diydrones.com posting with affiliate links. I think all these mentioned above have a commercial interest in their posts. Where do you draw the line.

In the past I have been posting blogs that were a plain copy/paste from Hobbyking. I have tried to better my life. I now write a story, find additional information (for example youtube movies) about a product and when I find new information I add that to the comments.

When Mike asked if it was possible to add a trigger for taking pictures I spend about half an hour looking for the manual to see what is possible and when I found one this morning (on the product page for this item), I added a link to it.

I agree that yours is a borderline case, and that you do add content. But it is a slippery slope that can easily get out of hand. But I will leave it at that, since it is not really my task to moderate the blogs. I just wanted to highlight the issue.
