AstroX X5 Johnny FPV Runcam Micro Eagle Mount

I absolutely love this camera! To unlock its full potential, simply connect it to an RX/TX pad and you'll have total control via the on-screen display. I also adore this frame - despite subjecting it to intense punishment, it still flies like a dream. Moving right along, let's talk about the AstroX X5 mount. The carbon fiber sides are fantastic at protecting your gear while keeping things tidy inside. However, when trying to mount my camera and maintain those sleek carbon sides, I encountered a problem: the available width is only 19mm. Spacers worked great, but I had to constantly tighten the camera and reposition it after crashes - not exactly fun. To resolve this issue, I designed a new holder with a fixed 20-degree up-tilt (30 degrees on my race version) and slightly adjusted its position to improve the field of view. This cam's 16:9 aspect ratio is truly impressive! I also added a capacitor mount inside to prevent rattling, but feel free to remove it if your VTX or TX resides there instead.
