Re: Pinhole Camera Project

I havent checked out the power of it,

But, you will notice a differance with a 9v battery attached to it.

You need a really powerful engine to not notice a slight bit of differance.

My advise would be to find the COG (centre of gravity) and stick it there! - It will proberly be just under the prop in that particular one!

yeah - you can open the canopy to find the motor battery, i believe there is a lump of polystyrene just behind it, may shove it in there.

This thread has more to do with a hobbyist Remote Control plane than to do with photography, hence, moved to the Off Topic thread.

Fair Play. Fair Play.

That portable Power station arrived yesterday, looks pretty good, very chinese - made in china, and the manual is converted, badly... Should work fine, needs 48 hours charging before first use so thats going on...

Oh and it has a 150w inverter, not 100w and its 1000 Amps, wadeva that means!

No camera as yet.

 

[floppybootstomp]

1000 amps? You sure? That's more than enough to turn a car engine over on a cold day

 

[ChristopherP]

yep - "1000 amp Jump Start unit with 150w Inverter" is what its called. Why? Is this alot of amps for something like this? What difference does it make?

Not bad for £55 delivered... i think.

Just have to wait until tomorrow to see if it works! STILL charging

Power Pack is awesome! The build quality could be alot better but other than that its brilliant.
