Armattan Marmotte Micro Cam mount for full-size lens

thingiverse

There are some fantastic camera mounts already available on the market, but they all position my Runcam Micro Eagle Pro JB Edition too far forward, leaving the lens exposed and unprotected. To address this issue, I designed a custom mount that uses countersinks for the camera screws to fit under the cam saver aluminum frame while keeping the camera lens safe from harm. By incorporating countersinks, I was able to keep cage bars out of my FPV feed. I printed the mount using polycarbonate and used 3mm screws throughout, but I'm unsure if PETG or another material would be strong enough, as there isn't much material for the counternut screws to grip onto. The camera fits snugly into place, eliminating the need to tighten the screws excessively with force. UPDATE: It turns out that this custom mount is not necessary after all, as simply loosening the cam savers and tilting them forward can accommodate micro cameras. However, this approach requires 3mm spacers and a single bolt, which may not be ideal for those who prefer a more sturdy holder capable of supporting four bolts. In addition to the custom mount, I also created a spacer/brace print that is available on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3527174
