Alternative Cables (
Not GoPro Original
) from Ebay
Note: The two cables options listed below allow you to power the GoPro from a 5volt power source as well as get
the video out, but you will need to make / solder connections to the power source and your TV display or FPV device
(if you are not familiar with doing this, then I would recommend using a cable that already has the connections that
you need)
Option1
Name:
USB TO AV Video Output & 5V DC power BEC input Cable plug FPV for Gopro/Gopro 3
Price:
Approx £8.00 (May 2013)
Ebay Ref: 400455108497
Option2
Name: USB TO AV Video Output & 5V DC power BEC input Cable plug FPV for Gopro/Gopro 3
Price: Approx £7.20 (May 2013)
Ebay Ref: 380565403325
Possible 5v Power Source
(e.g. if you buy the Ebay type cables and want to charge Camera while using it)
There are many possible sources for a 5v power supply but I use a Gryphon dual Channel Linear Voltage Regulator
which takes an input of between 6 and 10 volts, and has a switchable output of either 5.2 or 6.0 volts. You will need
a battery source between 6 and 10 volts to connect to this, as well as a male to male futaba type cable to connect to
the GoPro lead. I use a 7.4v 2-Cell Lipo Battery which are readily available (but you need a Lipo Charger to recharge
the battery)
