Hi there! Just got my FPV stuff yesterday and ran into a few problems
Problem 1:
The camera I got, Sony 700tvl, may or may not have its polarity reversed. I've heard someone mention that these cameras aren't always correct with its wires and connection inside the unit. I've tried opening the camera, but I cannot see anywhere where it tells me what goes where, there's no indication. So how do I check if it is? Should I just risk frying the camera and having to buy a new one?
Problem 2:
The camera uses 12v for power. Someone told me that my transmitter only outputs 5v to the camera, so I'd have to solder the power to the camera directly from the battery power to the vtx. The thing is, that the manual says its VOUT voltage is = DC IN voltage. Will this be true?
Thanks,
Nikolai
Update: opened the camera and was bummed that it did not say on the print if VOUT, + and - were on the right places, but I followed the lines, and it seems that it's right. Problem 1 solved.
