Ghostrider,
Can you please tell me what kind of battery consumption you see from the camera. I was going to hook mine up through my receiver but thought it prudent to use a separate 4 cell battery for the camera. Interested in seeing what you come up with.

I am also working on a micro switch for my camera so I can start and stop the record from a remote location by hand. If I can get that to work then I am mounting a camera under the canopy of my hotspot and just drill a small hole to run the power, usb, and record switch through. I will post pics if I can get the remote switch hooked up.

I have not checked into power consumption but I strongly believe that my RX battery should handle it. I am using a high capacity battery for all my airplanes (5 pack cells) and could fly x3 b/4 charging. I will check into the consumption and advice you later. One nice thing about the setup is that you could use a seperate battery source for it. Just plug it into the 5v connector.

I am working on making the camera lense seperate from the setup (remote mount with pigtail) and would post pics as soon as I get it perfected. I fried one yesterday during my test run (lol) but heck I only lost $29.99.
