I asked Foxeer, they tell me they have to change the board? Why? Joovuu and Mobius have this, and we can simply swap batts with caps....?!?!
My understanding is that the ability for a camera to operate off a super-capacitor is simply a function of how the firmware handles the shutdown/filesaving procedure. I'm sure @jokiin can verify if that notion is correct.
That's basically what I learned when I spent months experimenting with installing super-capacitors in a camera not designed for it. So, for example, if you flash a G1W camera with firmware from the G1W-C you can get the G1W to work with super-caps instead of the battery pack.
