Default RE: FlyCamOne2 Camera shutting off in flight ?

Thanks Chris for the reply. I've read many posts concerning the issues concerning the Flycamone2 and its "limited" battery power. This is probably my issue. The first flight video does last 1-2 minutes, then intermittent chopping in and out of videos.

A few other questions................

I have the optional tilt camera lens assembly. There seems to be alot of "chatter" coming from the motor that runs the tilt lens. I have "end point adjustment" on my radio, so I do not have too much throw put in that would cause this. Seems to happen any time the lens is moved. Could this be causing interference in the video quality ? Also I notice some "twitching" of the other servos at times, especially the throttle servo. Thinking the chatter is affecting other servos as well. Thinking about disconnecting this option and see if video quality improves as well as the "twitching servo" action.

Will look at the optional battery pack solution at Hobby Lobby. How about this as a possible solution to the battery problem

Does seem a little $$$ though.

The other battery pack listed for $10., is it the same as what's already in the camera ? http://www.hobby-lobby.com/flycamone...18490_prd1.htm

Have you downloaded the upgrade to the camera ? I haven't yet. I believe the latest version is 4.01, with 2 different downloads depending on the "logo" behind the lens. Mine has the hour glass like figure on it. If you did download this upgrade, did it improve video and photo quality ? or what advantages does it provide ?

Thanks for your help
