75mm FPV Drone DVR Canopy Mount

thingiverse

About ==================== I designed this mount to mount a larger camera with DVR and better resolution, and a separate 48 channel VTX board on my Blade Inductrix FPV+. I also tried to keep the shape of the original canopy to provide more protection and better chance of meow mode working when flipped. I really wanted to be able to record directly from my drones camera instead of over 5.8Ghz and this allows for higher res at 720p. I also like that the VTX used has IPEX connector so swapping antennas is super easy! Parts Used ==================== - [Turbowing Cyclops3 Camera/DVR](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SHJBR7/ref=twister_B07J53KZJY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) - [Wolfwhoop 5.8GHz 48CH FPV VTX with IPEX Line Antenna](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072C3RMLQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - [Beta75S Frame](https://www.amazon.com/BETAFPV-Beta75S-Micro-8x20mm-Motors/dp/B078GNW5N9/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542177072&sr=8-3&keywords=beta75s) Customization ==================== Camera angle, canopy height, distance between mounting holes and mounting hole size are all parameters in the inventor file. Installation ==================== I use the Beta75S frame which allows me to put the VTX board under the flight controller with 2 little dabs of hotglue. If you have a different frame, use the tall version which allows mounting of the VTX board behind the camera. I mount the camera with a little piece of 3M double sided tape. It slides into the groove on the front and with that its withheld plenty of crashes. There is a cutout at the top for screwing in a small piece of plastic if you wanted to add a physical clip to hold it down. Nerd Stats ==================== Weight is about 3g in PLA and 1.5g flexible filament. Volume is .125 cubic inches. This camera/dvr/vtx board weigh as much as the canopy/camera on the original Inductrix FPV+ so using this mount makes it in total about 3g more than stock. Thanks for looking! ==================== Currently making revisions to it so it may not work perfectly as of right now.
