	In my goodie stash I had an Microcopter from the brand [http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/518007/Reely-Minicopter-MC-120-R2F?queryFromSuggest=true Reely], I bought it once from [http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/518007/Reely-Minicopter-MC-120-R2F?queryFromSuggest=true Conrad]. Back then it was a bit cheaper then the price for which you can buy it now. <br>		In my goodie stash I had an Microcopter from the brand [http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/518007/Reely-Minicopter-MC-120-R2F?queryFromSuggest=true Reely], I bought it once from [http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/518007/Reely-Minicopter-MC-120-R2F?queryFromSuggest=true Conrad].

	I had an very small video capture device as well, this one came from [http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17200__HD_Wing_Camera_1280x720p_30fps_5MP_CMOS.html HobbyKing]. So I wanted to combine the two together.

	When flying I found the flying time to short, and the fact that the video device was only connected to one cell of the original battery asked for some improvement.		When flying I found the flying time to short, and the fact that the video device was only connected to one cell of the original battery asked for some improvement.
	During my search for parts I found two 'heavy' LiPo's of 2S 7.4V and 950mAh, which means an ~~theoretical tripled~~ flying time. So I made a adapter for the new battery. <br>		During my search for parts I found two 'heavy' [http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20388__Turnigy_nano_tech_950mah_2S_25_50C_Lipo_Pack.html LiPo's of 2S 7.4V and 950mAh], which means an longer flying time, Naizzz. So I made a adapter for the new battery. <br>

	A lesson learned a while ago, luckily I had a spare in my inventory. So ~~the important thing was~~ to make a potential divider~~. It was a nifty job, but worth it~~.<br>		A lesson learned a while ago, luckily I had a spare in my inventory. So I tried to make a potential divider.<br>
	~~pic~~ <br>		[[File:Spanningsdeler.png\|169px]][[File:Spanning.jpg\|300px]] <br>
	After that I made some improvement that the new battery will stick better and then it was time again for some testing. <br>		After measuring the voltage divider worked, but the video device wouldn't go on. Argh, what's wrong. As a backup solution I connected the original battery of the video device back on, and that worked. So now the vehicle has two battery's. One for flying and one for the video device.
	~~pic~~ <br>		After that I made some improvement that the new battery will stick better and then it was time again for some testing. For even taking off it's necessary to set the vehicle to Pro mode (LED is red), this makes the motors more agile and giving more trust. This is needed due to the increased weight. <br>
