FliteTest (FT) TJ's Gremlin Upper Frame and Camera Mount

thingiverse

It has been found after a crash that the camera-retention zip tie is located in such a way that it presses against one of the super-tiny surface-mount resistors on the WolfWhoop WT03 camera. If you crash just right, the resistor might be broken off, severely affecting the performance of the camera. The leading theoretical solution at this time is to place a bit of foam tape under the zip tie or use some potting compound to protect the surface-mount components. This part was designed as a replacement upper frame for TJ William's FliteTest Gremlin frame, specifically using the Wolfwhoop WT03 camera, however its since been discovered that this frame also works for a Lumenier AIO-200 if you mirror the design. Special thanks to Aaron Altounian for helping figure it out! I designed it for three reasons: one being to protect my circular polarized antenna on my quad from landing upsidedown, two because I bought a FrSky X4R-SB 3/16 receiver in order to have telemetry features which I DID get to work, but didn't realize until later that it didn't quite fit in the stock frame with the camera inside the frame... and three being I just wanted to! Camera has a 10-degree pitch. If there's interest for more or less aggressive angles or no antenna shroud at all so you can have extra space under the frame for electronics, I can easily produce variations on this design, so leave a comment if you'd like it modified in a specific way! Version three needs screws to hold the upper frame to the lower frame and glue or double-sided tape to hold the camera to the upper frame. Version four uses zip ties. This design is realistically a work-in-progress as I improve the design for strength and weight reduction, so expect to see variations on this frame design as the spirit moves.
