so the SN555 should run off 12v (3S lipo?)

...any chance it might work off 2S lipo, coz I have several spare! Anyone tried that yet?

No, that class requires 12V give or take 2V. It might run briefly on a very full 2S LiPo but that's not safe flying.

i wired up my cam, tc, rx etc.

just need a 3s lipo!

The camera quality looks good.

also have an archos mpeg4 video recorder (uses 40gig HD)

Yeah better to use a 3S plus doesn't your video TX need 12v? Anytime my battery gets below 10v I start losing video range and the picture gets grainier. Good luck

hi
I just received a 3S,
but my tx is 5-12v I think

Camera is about 12V

incidently, I did hook up a 2S to test the Tx the other day, and the SN555 camera did work on 2S. I can't say how well since I was testing the Tx and new my 3S was in the post and wasn't an issue
