See: http://shop.runcam.com/runcam-split-2/ 5V - 17V input power. Metal cover for the board and 'push/click' microSD card holder with safety tab to stop the card popping out in a crash. End mounting WiFi interface. ![[Image: wmUwOVZl.png]](https://i.imgur.com/wmUwOVZl.png) ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 2,416 Threads: 51 Likes Received: 1,861 in 1,175 posts Likes Given: 3,315 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 74 • Posts: 2,286 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,527 in 995 posts Likes Given: 1,881 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 72 (27-Sep-2017, 11:52 AM)sloscotty Wrote: Broken link? It wasn't broken when I saw it. Maybe they accidentally put it up by mistake. It's gone now, that's for sure. • Posts: 1,504 Threads: 83 Likes Received: 944 in 654 posts Likes Given: 2,142 Joined: Sep 2016 Reputation: 24 Sneaks in, sneak peek, sneaks out unseen!

A well ... guess they changes aren't huge and the old one is still fine.
Wonder if it does a good job filtering out the noise when connected to a 4s lipo directly. • Posts: 2,286 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,527 in 995 posts Likes Given: 1,881 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 72 I really hope there's some beefy filtering on the Split 2. As we all know, the electrical environment on a quad's battery power rails is downright hostile. Blowing up Split boards with active braking would be no fun at all. • Posts: 2,286 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,527 in 995 posts Likes Given: 1,881 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 72 I found a better picture of the Split 2. ![[Image: E1uykBCl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/E1uykBCl.jpg) • Posts: 72 Threads: 2 Likes Received: 32 in 22 posts Likes Given: 1 Joined: Jun 2017 Reputation: 0 Looks nice, liking the WIFI solution even though I never used my module.
Does that case act as a heathsink? is it there to prevent noise? Just a spacer? Anyone knows? • Posts: 2,286 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,527 in 995 posts Likes Given: 1,881 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 72 It doesn't look like a heatsink as the place where there are slots cut in the shield are where the video processor is. It's probably noise shielding and a bit more protection for the board. • Posts: 1,773 Threads: 30 Likes Received: 1,199 in 755 posts Likes Given: 714 Joined: Oct 2016 Reputation: 45 Geez, that didn't take long, I haven't even had time to remove my original Split from the box yet. • Posts: 1,504 Threads: 83 Likes Received: 944 in 654 posts Likes Given: 2,142 Joined: Sep 2016 Reputation: 24 (28-Sep-2017, 01:46 PM)RENOV8R Wrote: Geez, that didn't take long, I haven't even had time to remove my original Split from the box yet.

I think that might have something to do with the fact that RunCam pulled the Split 2 from their shop. They need to sell their stocks of the original Split first!
