I've had a few multimeters in my time but never really measured amps with it! Only since I've got into electic flight have I had to worry about amps.
I've considered the FlyCamOne2 because I believe it can record higher resolution rates (mind you, YouTube doesn't often care for that!)
My primative 640×480 30fps setup cost me 330g of extra weight. For that I could call my plane if I wanted to, but it's not very efficient!
Thanks, I kind of …
Thanks, I kind of assumed people might be familiar with the limits of a multi-meter if they owned one
I use a Fly cam one - version 1. Version 2 is out now, but I'm not sure if it's any better. You can get it from Hobby-Lobby.
Ooo, I'm glad you …
Ooo, I'm glad you mentioned that else I might have been buying a new multimeter
From what I've seen of all your posts on WattFlyer, you've always been helpful to us beginners! Thanks
My first aerial video is going online shortly, my Nokia N93i on the side of a glider. What camera do you use for all of yours? They're some great videos you have.
Thanks again you!
Multi-meters can …
Multi-meters can not handle the amperage level we need to measure. The limit on the multi-meter in the video is 2 milli-amps. The Stryker uses 7000 times that much!

Thanks for making a video for us beginners! I'm going to be getting a watts up meter but then, I think my multimeter has an ammeter on it, might make some Deans connector leads for it.
Great video
