Hey guys I"m trying to get this camera working and I'd like to know about the hook up wires. This camera came with my starter fpv package from rmrc and I think its a fat shark 420 line camera. I'd like to hook it to my ImmersionRc ezosd system. And from what I can figure out about the wires is this info starting with the (red) on the bottom side of the connector and going upward.
Red---------+5VDC
Black--------Gnd
Green-------Video
White-------Audio L
Black-------Audio R

So if I disconnect the 2 top wires (White & Black for audio) I could hook this camera straight into my ezosd and have video correct? Here's a picture of the camera and the connector and I"m sorry it's a little blurred.View attachment 13416

Why do you want to disconnect the audio?
As long as it is a 5V camera, you just plug it into the EZOSD Video in port, then you should have the cable that goes from the Video out port to your VTX.

I don't really care about the audio and the black audio right wire has been pulled from the connector anyways. I was just wanting to make sure that the wire were in the correct order to make a good connection for video.

I had a brain fart earlier and could not get myself wrapped around the plug connection for love or money. So I said carp just plug it into the osd and see what the heck happens lolol. And dingo I have nice color video and that little 420 TVL camera really has a very nice picture which I did not really expect.

Do yourself a favour and get a 600 or 700 tvl Sony super had camera.
I got mine from surveilzone.
If you think that 420 tvl is you will be amazed at a good camera.
The biggest difference for me is not just picture quality but light handling.
You can fly almost straight into the sun and still see ok.
Me and a friend were flying the other evening and it was getting a little dark.
Did not realize just how dark until we took the goggles off.

Well I had this camera laying around and I just wanted to make use of if for fpv. I might get a better camera later when money permits.

If you get a Sony board cam, I would go with the 2.1mm lens it give you a good wide view, or 2.8 mm for a little smaller field of view.. I have 2.1mm on 3 of my mini quads

I stripped an old gopro lens out of a hero wide. Works perfectly in my Sony board cam.

Yeah it does seem odd but the smaller the lens size the wider the view... I thought that at first to.. :)
