Kenobi replied to Sean Tierney's discussion FPV transmitter and camera powered off of 3S LiPo?
"Short answer is yes you can. i do it myself on 2 of my FPV crafts. No need to complicate issues and make more potential failure spots in your circuit , not to mention the extra interference from any more electronic voltage switchers.
Happy flying."
