SQ11 camera (to Tello drone and generic) adjustable mount

thingiverse

I wanted a mount that I could pivot up and down for my Tello drone. The existing models here would slip whenever I would have abrupt movement. I used a different style pivot mechanism to maximize on the surface contact when it's in place. I used a #6-32 x 1/2" screw and nut as the fastener. There are holes in the one side to lock the camera in place. I just use a piece of twist tie from a bread bag because it's easy to remove. You could use a paper clip too I guess. I have included the Tello mount, but also a STEP file of the same part without the Tello clip part so you can customize it for your own needs. I printed the clip part in PETG so it could flex a little when installing it on the drone as it clips on the top using a squeeze fit to hold it in place. Here's a video of the tilting action: https://youtu.be/-LPJYJEX1IM Just loosen the screw, adjust it to the angle you want, then tighten the screw.
