Foxeer Mix Pan Tilt

thingiverse

Here's a pan/tilt mechanism for the Foxeer Mix FPV camera: http://bit.ly/2W3ytTh. I'm uploading this now for those who asked but haven't flown it yet - once I do, I'll add a video here. This design is very similar to the one I made for the Caddx Turtle V2, which you can see at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3322077; in fact, it's almost identical, just adjusted to fit the Foxeer Mix instead. Parts are rotated for proper printing orientation - I printed them in PETG on my Ender 3 using a thin layer height for best layer adhesion (0.1mm layer height, 0.4mm extrusion width, if I remember correctly). Use what works best for you and your printer though... lol. It's made to fit well on this pan servo that I've modded for more travel - although it should work on just about any similar-sized servo. I like these for smooth panning and extended travel (180º stock, can be modded for more). JX 9180MG Servo: http://bit.ly/2ESLiae. Here's how to mod the servo for maximum throw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQWjrw5xGAU. This video covers the assembly - it's for the Caddx Turtle V2 version but should all apply here since they are so similar. FYI, I used some spare tapered M2 screws from the Turtle cameras to assemble this one as well, since I had no suitable screws in the box with the Mix; you may have to source something that will work. Tilt servo isn't too critical - just find something around 9G or smaller that's smooth without a lot of slop. It's just fitted on top of the board cover with servo mounting tape. The hardest part will be locating the small linkage for it, I have a few spare ones from 450 size electric helis that I use; they are not nearly as common as they used to be though, getting harder to find.
