Archery Arrow Camera Mount Fuselage

cults3d

A 2 part fuselage with a ~8mm porthole that fits a 1/3 CMOS spy camera. I've also included a variation without the porthole so that non optical sensors may be used instead. The OpenSCAD files are included in case adjustments need to be made. The most common one will probably be slight adjustments so that the parts fit over the arrow shaft. I used a diameter of 8mm which worked for the arrows I tested with, but not for all of may arrows so a slight upward adjustment to 8.4mm or so may help if the fit is too tight. The specific camera that I used with this is from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304097569889 However, any similar camera with the flexi connector to a 1/3 CMOS sensor will probably work. Similar cameras can be found on alibaba. Use search terms " DIY Wifi Spy Camera ". Note that some of these do not have an integrated battery and a large external battery may not fit into the fuselage along with the chip and sensor. UPDATE: I did some flight tests and the original design needed reinforcement as well as a slightly looser coupling mechanism for easier assembly/disassembly. I've also added the OpenSCAD file. At the bottom are calls to the modules. The only input is the diameter of the sleeve that slides over the arrow shaft. I have it defaulting to 8mm which works for most of my arrows but others may need to tweak it a bit for thicker arrows.
