Please note the non-commercial license on this item. You are prohibited from printing and selling copies of this thing for profit purposes. Please send me a message if you intend to print and sell. This thing is a mount (two mounts, actually) that enables attaching an Insta360 One X camera (or similar) to your drone for capturing 360-degree footage. There are two distinct files, one mount designed for the camera on top of the drone, and the other for mounting the camera under the drone. Both mounts slide over the drone body (refer to pictures for correct orientation), and while they clip onto and hold reasonably tight by themselves, there are rubber band hooks on each mount to ensure a secure fit. You will likely need to widen the opening with your hands to clip the mounts over the drone body, as they are quite stiff. Please note that the battery release buttons serve as sliding stoppers on both mounts, preventing them from moving back or forth. The flat section for mounting the camera is slightly angled to ensure it remains level when the drone is placed on a flat surface (and presumably this is also the normal flight attitude of the drone). To maintain structural integrity, they need to be printed in the orientation specified, and no supports are required. Just pay attention to the first few layers, as the rubber band hooks start out as small islands before merging with the main body. You will need to provide your own mounting bolt/screw, which is a standard 1/4-20 UNC bolt for camera mounts, and you may need to cut it to length as well. A final note: The bottom mount blocks the optical flow sensor, and the camera added will likely partially obstruct the ultrasonic sensor, so be aware of potential issues. You will also need to hand launch and land the drone if a camera is mounted to the underside of the drone, so exercise extreme caution! I have not flown with these mounts myself, as I do not possess suitable cameras, and I disclaim any responsibility for consequences resulting from using either mount and adding a camera to your drone.
