I'm not sure what exactly is on that board, as far as a voltage regulator... I've never had a problem using power from the ESC via the reciever in my setup. Battery is TP 1900mah, 11.1v Lipo. (usually. sometimes other packs )

In my setup, I have the camera set up to take a picture every 40 seconds or so to keep itself from shutting off. That gives me a few really wierd pictures due to the interference from the motor(if running). The pictures taken in a glide are nice and clear, no funky colors.

That's a good idea to use the USB connector, I might do that. [sm=thumbup.gif]
