I lost a cap on my KX121 Camera. Anybody got a schematic? I replaced it but must have missed on the value. I can't read the old one. I think I lost a resistor as well. My AGC is off.

as soon as I saw the title to you vid link I knew why you needed the schematics, I think. The landing on the vid did it?

This damage was done quite a while ago while the camera was on my Aerobird Extreme. I caught a branch or two on the way through the woods on one of my tree landings. I have tried a few RC combonations and the camera is not terrible, but I am losing some of the clouds in a bright sky. What I really want to do is get a higher resolution camera for 5v (can't find one...).

Steve,

Cool video.... Could you post a picture of your camera with cap and res location marked? I would be happy to pull off and measure the components.

You should try the watec lcl 619 camera. Very close to the kx171 but you will pay for it.

Here are the locations. The resistor (I think it is a resistor) is very small. I have been out of the electronics game for a while. How the heck to you remove these SMD parts?

Steve,

Hold my breath and hope for the best [X(] Really, I just use a couple of soldering irons. One has a very fine tip. It looks like a resistor to me also. It measured 100 ohm on my meter. The cap measured 1uF. I use a L/C meter from Almost All Digital. 1uF is right at its max range but I think it is correct. Maybe someone could confirm this.... I hope this helps.

Thanks a bunch. The pads are shot from my attempts at replacing the parts. I have wires soldered to the top of the resistor and the other side of the cap. I will put a series RC in there later today and try it out. Thanks again. I was using a .1uf with no resistor. Thanks again.
