Beware of Crossed Wires From the Factory on Sony CCD

[steve fh]

Though others might like to know of this issue.

After much head scratching last night i finaly got my fpv set up transmitting an image. Turns out the Sony CCD camera i bought from hobby king  (this one) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11977__1_3_inch_SONY_CCD_Video_Camera_PAL_.html is prone to leaving the factory with the +ve and signal leads the crossed over in the lead that plus into the camera.

I found the problem as it';s mentioned in this youtube guide How To Connect Sony CCD Video Camera and 5.8GHz FPV Wireless 200mw

Camera got hot but no magic smoke at it works fine now i';ve switched the leads over in the plug.
