| Re: video camera mounting I have mounted a 1.2G wirless camera to my dragonfly 22e, There is no point unless you use a lipo battery or your flight times will only be 1-2 mins and youll be hard up geting more than 3 foot of the ground. Instead of using the 9volt bat i have succsessfully routed the power from the 11.1volt lipo with no dramas, with the stock 370 brushed main motor it wont last long it will over heat in time but not before you tail motor, to disipate the heat i have added heat sink to the tail motor and am upgrading the main motor to a 180L Brushless with heat sink and a 30A Speed controller, upgraded plugs to deans (a bit of extra weight but with the 1300aMh lipo its prolly best) its about 100gms over weight but flys for around about 10 mins and with the extra weight it has beter penitration and can be flowin in stronger conditions reaching hight is no problems it has plenty of power climb with the blades balanced down to 0.00g it flys sweet BUT MY POINT IS IF YOU ADD A CAMERA YOU MIGHT AS WELL DO ALL OF IT however its easly afordable and i use a portable DVD player for an LCD screen via Cam corder to record the image on the field the wireless transmiter is powered by the 9volt bat clip suplied with the camera so can be compleatly wireless. (now my only problem is interfierance to the camera reception due to the motor and gearbox). |
