Status: online 		I am not an expert....but wouldn't that take power away from the servo?? Not to mention, the battery? I looked at the CX manual and especially at the 4 in 1 , They seem to be touchy enuff as it is......... I am curious about this now also. Ya......can ya steal power from a servo, and not lose control ability??

Status: offline 		There's only 4 accessible slots on the CX 4-in-1... one each for the elevator, aileron, and the 2 motors. You could use a y-harness to connect another servo which would trigger your camera shutter at one end of the master servo travel.
Howsomever, this would introduce a massive glitch into the heli just when you're taking the picture.
