-WARNING-
Yesterday I flew this wonderful little unit for the 4th time. Soon into the flight the camera started to tilt up. All I could see was sky. I very nearly lost the aircraft into the ground twice whilst trying to fly downwards to see where I was.

The tilt servo spline is inserted into the arm that holds the camera where it is held by a normal servo screw. My tilt spline is stripped on the camera mount side - not the servo. This may have occurred during ground handling and/or travelling in the car. Now the camera offers no resistance in the tilt. Air pressure in flight was able to push the camera so that by the time I had another pilot land the a/c the camera was only showing blue sky - no ground at all. Scary!

HTX900 seem to physically fit in the mounting bracket but the spline on the servo is too large.

A great little camera and a great mount - until the tilt died nearly costing a model.

It is a great cam with good sterio sound.

The pan tilt mount is good. The servo's though are rubbish.
No center, one got so hot it starts melting, the other one whont senter but runs to the end and back.

Replaced the servo's and it works perfect.

It has only one problem: There is no explanation about the cable configuration. I handled this problem and now I'm using. In that case: Red= 5V, Thick Black=Ground(-), Thin Black and White=Audio, Yellow=Video. You can use this camera with 2S Li-Po. But you have to use regulator. (with 7805 transistor and 10 micro F capasitor) Have a good flight.

excellent system. perfect for the RC922... Plug and play. Small, light and well put together. I tried the HK pan tilt. It is nice, but this is much easier to use. Fully recommended.

Does anyone know the pinouts for this system. I am connecting it to a hobbyking 5.8 GHz wireless transmittter, and I can tell the wiring is different.

The camera itself is really great.
The servos have some slack. Most probably because of that, strong resonant vibration of pitch servo occurred in flight, and several munutes of the vibration cut out all the slots in the hole for the servo shaft on the pitch C-bracket. So I suggest very simple thing: if you see any sign of servo vibration, as early as possible glue a small piece of porous rubber onto the back side of the pitch servo at the tilt axis. It will produce light friction with the C-bracket and prevent the vibration.
HXT-900 servos do not fit into the assembly. They are same in size, but the shaft is much thicker.

Just received camera and installed on plane. Picture quality is good, camera is lightweight, only problem, servos are absolute crap, never seen before such devastating jittering even from cheapest servos I have. Changed to another ones. That's why four stars.
