FPV with Spektrum VA1100 Micro Camera on the LaTrax Alias

I’m diving into FPV with the Spektrum VA1100 Micro Camera on my LaTrax Alias.

This camera/transmitter combo has a power input range of 3.3v – 4.2v (1s), so it can be powered off my LaTrax Alias’ battery. Currently I taped the camera on the Alias with scotch tape :

3D-printed QI charging stand
