Video grabber for those that record their wireless video on a notebook

Posted by CrashingDutchman on April 27, 2010 at 5:23am
DealExtreme has a new video grabber on their website. The problem for the versions they already sold for some longer was that modern OS's were not always supported because drivers being unavailable. I had a lot of trouble getting my grabber running on windows 7 and ended up making my notebook dualboot Windows XP to be able to use it.

Here is a link to Video Grabber

There is detailed information on the website, I only post some of the specifications here.
Power: 8V to 12V DC power supply. Some
transmitters, especially those FUTABA ones, can supply power directly by trainer
connector. (ex. T9Z, FF9C). Some transmitters cannot supply power to X-GYRO, for
example 14MZ and 12FG. The simplest solution is to use an extra battery forthose RC transmitters. The connector is already included in package.
Size: 25mmX35mm
Weight:20g
Range for measuring: +-90 degree/second rotational speed movement.
