iFlight USB-C to 5V Balance Power Plug V2 for GoPro Hero

The iFlight USB-C to 5V Balance Power Plug V2 allows you to power a "naked" or standard GoPro directly from your flight battery's balance lead. By drawing current straight from the main LiPo and stepping it down via an integrated BEC, this cable bypasses your flight controller entirely. This prevents dangerous overloads or brownouts on your drone's internal 5V rail while delivering steady, clean power to your action camera.

Key features

• Dedicated 5V regulated output ensures stable operation for continuous high-resolution recording without voltage sags.
• Plugs directly into the LiPo battery's JST-XH balance plug, isolating the camera's heavy current draw from your sensitive flight electronics.
• Fitted with a low-profile USB-C connector tailored for the tight clearances found on FPV cinewhoops and freestyle mounts.
• V2 revision includes upgraded voltage regulation circuitry and robust wiring designed to survive high-vibration drone builds.

On a GoPro Hero 11 the camera may show a "not enough power" warning; installing the GoPro Labs firmware mod that disables this check clears it.

This cable is a highly practical addition to cinewhoops and long-range cruisers where stripping out the internal GoPro battery saves significant weight, improving both flight time and agility. When installing, always ensure the balance lead slack is cable-tied securely to the frame to prevent it from striking the propellers during flight.
