Can the RunCam Sky run on 5V?
The recommended cam for the Falcon 190 is the RunCam Sky
Looking over the power ratings on the camera it seems that
it quotes 7 to 12 volts which means the typical power out on
a VTX will not be enough. Would that be the correct assumption?
Also I see the RunCam Sky Plus which does state 5 to 17 volts but
it seems the case is a bit larger which may impair mounting it
on the Falcon?

Hi Clayton, Any HS1177 Camera will fit in the Falcon. We recommend the Sky, however, if you are running a 4S battery, it is recommended to use A BEC to step down the voltage to 12v or less. ( I personally have had success running the cameras at a higher 4S voltage, but if you want to try this you would have to do so at your own risk.)

Yes you are correct that is why I tried to use the 3S to power the cam itself only attaching the video lead to the vtx for signal
