    Boscam RX-LCD5802 FPV monitor w/external battery?

    Does anyone out there use the Boscam RX-LCD5802 FPV monitor with an external battery? I was wondering if it is possible to use a 7.4V 2450mAh Li-Po plugged into the charging port to continue using the monitor out in the field after the internal battery has run out of juice. Any insight would be...

    Hero 3 stops recording/locks up

    I usually just delete the files from the card after copying to my Mac, without reformatting. Once my new card comes in, I'll give the formatting in the camera method a try.

    Hero 3 stops recording/locks up

    Previously I've used the GoPro in 1080p 60 Wide without issues. The day I observed the problem was the first time that I tried 2.7K since purchasing the GoPro; it was just on a whim prior to flight after seeing some videos online. I changed the mode just before take-off; until that time the...

    Hero 3 stops recording/locks up

    Thank you all for the great feedback on various things to consider while figuring out this problem. All were very insightful, but I found the memory card posts interesting as this was the first time that I tried using the 2K Wide mode in flight. Checking my card, it seems to be rated at 30mb/s...

    Hero 3 stops recording/locks up

    madsonp and tom3holer - Thanks for the information. It would be unfortunate if I have to pull the GoPro battery constantly to keep in a workable state. I have updated the firmware to the latest available, reformatted the microSD card, and run a test on the kitchen table; it ran for 21:25 before...

    Hero 3 stops recording/locks up

    I'm pretty new to the quad world, and have the Phantom 2 in Naza-M mode with H3-3D gimbal, GoPro Hero 3, Storm All-in-One Deluxe, and the iOSD Mini, and noticed the gimbal gets incredibly hot after a few moments of operation. As a result, the GoPro will stop recording and eventually will shut...
