- External Battery Pack with RPi + Camera
Last time, I was not able to run the RPi camera board at 1080@30 with the battery pack I have.
I tried to measure the voltage and current using multimeter.
However, my test condition was not great, and long cable caused too much voltage drop to make RPi work properly...
Hope I have good test tools... it would be nice to make USB current monitor using tiny MCU... - Using PS Vita Portable ChargerI had Vita charger which is capable to output up to 1500mA and tested again.

This time it worked!
It was the power issue.
I assume average current is ok but I am guessing the peak current was actually causing issue...

Summary:
WiFi video streaming was tested using Raspberry Pi camera board and Vita portable charger.
Video image was displayed properly and response was less than fast enough.
