Base plate for leightweight Pan Tilt

thingiverse

As a passionate Twinstar FPV enthusiast, I printed out the heavy-duty Pan/Tilt model once and it worked perfectly right off the bat. However, my servo had one major limitation - it couldn't turn 180 degrees at all. To get around this issue, I decided to swap in a smaller servo and really appreciate the Lightweight Pan/Tilt for its compact design. So, I designed a custom baseplate that fits snugly onto the POD. The base plate is glued tightly to the POD, providing a solid foundation for the rest of the setup. On top of it, I mounted the Pan servo. What's even more convenient is that you can swap out the entire camera system with just 4 screws - it's incredibly easy to do! The baseplate design was inspired by the MPX Twinstar FPV POD found on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:906046). Meanwhile, I used parts from the Lightweight Pan Tilt (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2122735) for the Pan/Tilt mechanism and the upper camera mount was taken from the Heavy Duty Mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1821872). I hope you find this setup helpful!
