hello ian
could you tell me please how you have wired the Gopro up i see you have wires from the usb and the jack plug.have you used the gopro battery or take power from the rx.rgds jeff

Hi Jeff, what i did wiring wise was get an angles 2.5mm 4 pole jack plug prewired, i took the video out wire and ground and took them to my EZOSD video in and round.

The USB connector was one left lying around. i cut and stripped the cable and took the red and black to the Immersion 10mw vtx Camera 5v supply and ground. It powers the camera as i fly :)

Ok quick update :

First the camera pod, because pan servos tend to be first effected and need to be kept super still i added a ferrite ring to the servo lead. 5 wraps rounds enough to work effectivly



Next thing i wanted was to mount the vtx and EZOSD so they were accessable so i could adjust the Osd without ripping everything to bits or change channels on the vtx. Here`s how ive mounted them :

   

The height was govened by the antenna height i wanted and cable connectors having to clear the lipo. Also there would be a birds nest of wires so i donned the soldering iron to simplify the wiring and improving clearance :



Next on the list was to mount the current sensor to the EZ. By doing this it means fitting the pod is a three wire affair, all connectors are locking apart from the servo connection to pan servo.

I mounted the current sensor, tapped into it and got the feeds for the RSSI reading and display toggle input. RSSI on a UHF receiver might seem pointless but i think that monitoring it would let me know of any problems and might save an accident.



I then fitted the elevator servo wire, the pan servo wire and ailerons. Then spent a bit of time making it as neat as i possibly could :)

Hi Ian, this is such a great thread, would be cool to be able to supersize the pics, I just want to see all the detail !  :)
Cheers,
