Sky-Hero Spy Zenmuse H3-2D & H3-3D Gimbal Mount Arm

thingiverse

A mount to fix a DJI Zenmuse H3-2D or H3-3D gimbal to A Sky-Hero Spy. The Mount also acts as a canopy latch for the front canopy. This mount is in 2 parts, a plate that attaches to the bottom frame plate via 2 of the standard mounting holes and one of the front self tapping frame space screws, once this plate is fitted (semi permanently) the actual gimbal arm can be fitted and removed in minutes by removing 3 M3 screws. Note that this arm does not mount to the intrinsic plate as I wanted to be able to remove this separately to fit and remove batteries. It may seem counter intuitive not to mount from the dampened plate however I have had no vibration issues when the gimbal is only isolated with the DJI anti vibration balls. On a Spy750 frame with 13" props with the gopro on 1080P medium you need to be at fairly extreme angles before you see any props in view. Instructions Assembly... Take the mounting plate and fit 3 x M3 nylock nuts in the hex slots provided, if these are a tight fit heat the nuts slightly. On the Sky-Hero frame remove the middle frame spacer self tapping screw from the lower frame plate. Fasten the mounting plate to the lower frame with the self tapping screw you removed earlier and 2 x M3 bolts, washers and nylock nuts at the 2 forward M3 mounting holes on the lower frame (beside the big hole). If you already use these holes for mounting other gear you may have to get longer bolts to attach through all points. You can now put the frame back together. To mount the gimbal arm remove the intrinsic battery mount. Fix the arm to the mount plate with 3 x M3x(?? need to check) screws each with a M3 washer, these screws tighten into the 3 Nylock nuts that you fitted earlier. The gimbal can now be mounted on the end of the arm with M3 screws, washers and nylock nuts. (Optional) Before re-attaching the intrinsic battery plate cut a small piece of foam 5cm x 2cm x 1cm and affix to the top front of the battery plate (see pics when I add them), when fitted to the frame this helps support and dampen the long arm.
