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?

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

Where are you grounding everything? Can you submit a wiring diagram?  If you power your camera via a bec, and power your immersion tx and OSD from another point in your power scheme, you will cause a ground loop which will lead to improper function of the camera/osd.  We recommend connecting all of the grounds to the same point, resulting in a common ground.

I have sent an email to support with the diagram since I’m not sure how to attach it here. Thanks for the help. This is honestly the 1st 12 volt camera I have dealt with on my setups I typically use a 5 volt cam. I do have a Drak VTX I can test with as well since its wiring harness has an additional power out supply line for up to 14 volts.
