Solar charger
I was making a solar charger to help keep the camera charged in flight but the panel i found out i was using wasn’t putting out enough amps to charge the camera or a phone. So…NOTE TO SELF talk to Mr.Better about a panel that will put out 1amp (100mA) minimum.

Self note
I need to talk to a professional photographer to know the settings I should set my camera to, to produce the best pictures. Because of the movement and possible spinning of the rig I want to have amazing shots.
