Canopy + FPV camera mount for RC-Explorer.se Tricopter

thingiverse

A while ago, I built a tricopter according to the plans David Windestål published on his website rcexplorer.se To give it a friendly look and to protect the electronics, I used the upper part of a packing of butter (Président(R) Sea Salt Butter) from the local grocery store. Ok, to be frank, the order was actually different: once, on a sunday morning while heaving breakfast, I looked at the dome standing on the table and I suddenly had to built an airframe for it :) I wanted the FPV cam to become the "nose" of my new friend and for easier handling, I didn't want to attach it to the dome. So I came up with this solution. The camera mount should be able to hold any common board camera and it gives it a 10° angle towards heaven for a better view when flying forward. Just drill a hole into the butter dome (about 25mm from the lower end) and arrange it into the "hook" at the cam mount's foot. On the backside, there's a simple bolt that should be put through another ~5mm hole of the dome. I have foreseen an option to put a splint through the bolt to secure the cover, but I don't think it's really necessary.
