Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend a BEC or regulator that can have its output adjusted around the 12v level (ideally in a fairly easy manner, eg adjustable screw)? It needs to be able to cope with a couple of amps going through it, and be powered from a 4s lipo.
I was going to use a CCBEC (Castle Creations) but the output on this will only go up to 9v. They do a pro version, but this a lot larger than I would like really!
Cheers
Andy
Go to Ebay and search for "Boost Buck Converter".
Specs. to suit all tastes.
This works ok:

Looks same and cheaper - thanks never knew about these.
TIP:
After you have adjusted the screw to give the desired output voltage, put a bit of Blu tack, plasticine or even window putty on the screw - that way it cannot shake around and readjust itself.
Would these guys be able to handle the current draw of a brushless gimbal + VTx + Camera?
I have the banggood gimbal and a 600mW VTx + board cam but I just run it from the balance connector of my 4S battery, but only taking the first 3 cells. It works fine but I feel like I'm probably degrading the life of the battery by unevenly discharging it.
I always re-balance when charging but figure it probably isnt too good for the battery.
The standard ones will do 2a continuous or 3a if you put a heat-sink on.
Whether that will run your vtx, camera and gimble depends on the power consumption of your equipment.
