    Default Using onboard 5V reg to power-up the servos?

    I read that the RVOSD has an on-board 5V/3A regulator. Is it possible/recommended to use this as a BEC to power-up the receiver/servos? How can I do it? Is it likely to introduce interferences to RVOSD?

    I currently have an external 5V/3A Sport-BEC mounted for that purpose, as my ESCs do not have one I would trust to drive 6 servos. However, if I can use the RVOSD one instead, it would always save some weight

    Not recommended, because while servos demand current, the 5V rail will become noisy, making some influence in the video. I already tried this, its perfectly usable, but no perfect, then I decide not to leave it on the final version.
