Hi everyone, so i'm still kind of a newbie to quadcopters, built my first racing quad with a skyline32(essentially a naze32) worked fine i didn't have any difficulties, and recently i started a new aerial photography or autonomous flying drone and i chose to use an APM 2.8. So my esc's only has the signal and ground lead, but not the 5v, so i bought a 12v step down to 5v and just plugged it into th 5v pin (check photo). But recently i saw a video about using a power module. Would i need such a thing???? because i am also using one micro servo and one normal sized servo for a simple servo gimbal
