1 27-Sep-2016, 01:56 AM Hey guys. I got a question. Currently im still flying LOS on my quad that i built. No FPV gear yet. I seen in the suggest build thread to use a runcam swift and a skyzone TS5823 200mw vtx. Im thinking about picking those up. If any one would have other suggestions too let me know. Also i was wondering about how to wire i it up correctly. I have a matek pdb with a camera and a vtv pass through. And in the pass through it has a bec for the vtx and camera. Either 12v or 5v and VCC. I understand i should use 12v for the vtx and 5v for the camera. Is that correct? I know it depends on the manufacturer specs too. Ill running using 3s lipo. Thanks in advance for any info.

6 Hey,
That camera and VTX are good picks.
The VTX can handle voltages between 7v and 21v and the camera between 5v and 17v so you can use any voltage within those ranges respectively. However, using lower voltages will produce less heat.

look this part
