What's in the box of the Boscam Galaxy

DSC06432.jpg There is a charger included separately. It also comes with deans connector if you'd like to run it from an external battery, a mounting bracket for radio receivers and a AV lead fir inputting and outputting audio and video. It also comes with mounting plate for tripod stand DSC06438.jpg On-off switch, and the mini-dip switches to select the channels on R1 and R2. Diversity is selected by choosing the same channel on both sides. DSC06439.jpg It has 3 video outputs 1 for each receiver and 1 that automatically selects the best one for output. There is also a video input DSC06437.jpg There is only one switch to switch between R1 and R2's channel when not in diversity mode. Charging led (red = charging, green = charged): the initial charge took about 4-5 hours to full on my 1.5A 12v charger. Pros Large bright screen Well built, high quality plastic Clean design, not many switches/buttons to fiddle with Built in 4000mah lipo (presumably) with good battery life foldable sunshade which acts as screen protector when not in use Mounting clip for radio receiver well thought and very sturdy Cons Charging took quite long to full charge Does not have OSD to change screen settings - contrast, brightness etc etc Default contrast is too high - "burns out" highlight areas and reduced the amount of detail DSC06441.jpgThe high contrast makes it a little hard to see on a bright days light due to the clipping washing out alot of the detail.
