AcroBrat GPS VTX Mount (Hex and Unify Pro) with slot for 3M EMI absorber

thingiverse

AcroBrat GPS (for BN-180) and VTX SMA (hex nut and TBS Unify versions) Mount is designed for effortless installation. It also features holes for RX antenna tubes, ensuring a secure fit. This mount requires no support during printing. Use a layer height of 0.3mm to achieve optimal results. The GPS module can be sourced from various online retailers, including https://www.racedayquads.com/products/micro-ublox-m8n-gps-glonass or https://www.banggood.com/Smallest-Mini-Dual-GLONASSGPS-BN-180-Micro-Double-GPS-Antenna-Module-UART-TTL-For-CC3D-F3-p-1208587.html, or https://www.banggood.com/Dual-BN-220-NEO-M8N-GPS-GLONASS-Antenna-Module-Ublox-M8030-TTL-Level-p-1208588.html. Update: After testing the mount, I found that the Lipo battery mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2980730) provides better EMI shielding due to its ability to block electronic interference. This resulted in faster GPS lock times and improved overall performance. Update: To further enhance EMI shielding, I added a slot for 3M EMI absorber to the design. With this modification, I'm now able to achieve quick GPS fixes with over 10+ satellites. The 3M EMI absorber can be sourced from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M1HRO4A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for $6.41 per pack of five 2x2-inch sheets. Update: After further testing, I recommend using the BN-220 GPS module instead of the BN-180 due to its improved performance and ability to lock onto more satellites quickly. The BN-220 also features memory that allows users to change and save settings like port speed. Additionally, I suggest using the Lipo mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3217191) for optimal results. Update: A version of the mount specifically designed for the BN-220 has been added. If you choose to use the tail mount, consider using a longer VTX antenna like the VAS Ion V2 to maintain distance between the GPS and VTX units.
