Mobius Wide Lens Protection

thingiverse

The mobius lens is very much at risk when flying mini quads, since it is often the absolut front of the quad, taking the impact ("if" their is a crash some day..) This is a design that is used to protect the mobius camera wide angle lense. It can be used with or without an additional gopro hero 2 protection lens (part of a gopro hero 2 lens replacement kit) Added some extension up and down on the mount to take the main hit in crash, so it is actually kind of a dual protection :) ; it works without the protection lens also if you want to keep the weight addition to a minimal. The extra lens adds approx 4 grams and the print incl plastic screws added about 5 grams (ABS), so the mobius increases from 41 grams to 50 grams with the full protection; or to 46 grams without the extra lens. Please note this is work-in-progress, just let me know if anything needs adjustment, and I fix it asap. Instructions I use 2 plastic M3 screws with nuts , virtually no weight, to screw it together around the mobius, and the lens just clamped together with a tight fit. If you want you could skip the lens to save weight, you still get impact protection from the plastic design. Print two of this component to create the mount; wanted to keep the sides identical for easy printing and replacment.
