How does the camera get power? can it use the balance lead for a 3s?

Yes, your 3S balance lead would plug into the balance supply. The power would then run to your transmitter and camera.

Yes it comes with a filter that has 2s, 3s and 4s balanced connector. The filter lets you run the camera from the same battery as the motors.

Yes you can. I have an aftermarket 1800 3s battery with both the AR Drone connector and a balance charger lead. I just plugged in the balance charger plug and the transmitter powered up. I use a splitter cable I bought to power an LED which has the same plug as the balance line. I would not recommend relying on the balance charger lead as they are typically very short which could make mounting a bit challenging. However the power board for the Fatshark is connected via an 8 inch long wire to the transmitter board so there is a lot of flexibility on mounting.

Two ways, both need a nice battery, a hobby store lipo works great as a 3s runs 11v and can be from 1000mah to 3000 easily. You can do it with a wireless system check out a boscam video transmitter and reciever set, or on your person with a 12v video digital recorder. You will need a power stepdown for the camera and it would wire directly into the dvr. This video may help you see how it works. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p0pXKjvrV0g Hope this helps.

The power through the cable depends on the source, where you hook it up. It can be "switched" or "unswitched" meaning the power source is controlled by the ignition switch. Either way, if the camera is on, it will drain the battery, over time. Hope this helps.

You can only use the grip. Replaces the specific camera battery with the grip, which uses a series of AAs.

if you put 'chargeable' batteries in it you could charge them but outside of the camera. I don't believe there is anyway to have external power with this camera.

Yes, the cameras need power. The battery connection is merely for testing purposes and will only provide power up to 15 minutes.

The wires are marked for power and ground.you may put a toggle switch in line to turn the camera on and off

I haven't had any issues that I know of. The nice thing is the camera doesn't really eat battery power anyway, but I always carry the extra one when I'm out. I don't pay attention to which one goes in, and I couldn't tell you a difference. My only suggestion is you ALWAYS take care of your batteries, and they'll last.

It takes two of the Canon Camera rechargeables, not 3. That is all I use in it.

The video should be fine. But you may need a power source closer to the camera.

Yes it needs a power base a charger/adopter. For constant power while the part that looks like the battery replaces the battery in the camera....I hope this is clear

You have to get a 12 volt 2amp power supply and plug it straight into the camera. it will work great. if it don't, you have something wrong.

I don't shoot video, but I've been out all day taking pics and have never gotten the battery below halfway. Usually it takes a couple days of shooting to get to half. The battery also recharges lightning fast!

It comes with a composite video pigtail and a small tripod. It can run off power as long as the source is able to provide enough current.

No. Those cameras are too heavy and will burn out the power supply. I have a 6 oz camera on mine and so far its working but anything much heavier will do it in.

The camera uses 12volt supply from vehicles wiring or from external battery. As my app was portable, I used 2 6volt lantern batteries in series for the required 12 V.

the camera does not use a battery (internal) the camera only come on when you supply it with 12 volts from the vehicles battery.(like when you put it in reverse) I had mine connected to the reverse lights so it only came on when in reverse.
