FPV Frog - FPV Drone Pod

thingiverse

Designed for: Every standard drone frame with 30.5 x 30.5 mm FC support. Can be used for all sizes 3 inch and larger. You need: - 4x M3 screws, length depends on your frame and spacers - 4x M3 hexagonal nuts Files contained: - STL with text "FPV FROG" on the back - STL without text - NEW: STL of the 5" frame. It is not for printing, but for carbon cut in 5mm - Untested: STL for 2.1mm without text Most motor shafts are higher than the pod. This means that the pod usually doesn't touch the environment in case of a crash. That's why the pod is easy to print in PLA. I fly with my 3" drone in the gym and the pod doesn't break. Weight is only about 8g. Cam angle is fixed at 45 degrees. TPU is not recommended, as the space between components is very small, so they could destroy each other in case of a crash. I recommend using the following components for a full-featured build with telemetry, lua, osd, and buzzer possible. You can use other parts, but they must be the same size or smaller.

It should be very tight; otherwise, use glue. 3) Insert the VTX into the back of the pod, directly over the antenna cable. 4) Insert the cam into the front of the pod and screw it tight. 5) Use double-sided tape to mount XSR on top of the FC. 6) If you have a buzzer, use double-sided tape to mount it on the back of the cam. 7) Solder all together. 8) Mount the pod directly on top of your FC. Keep all cables inside. 9) Insert the screws from the bottom of your frame. Watch out for the length. If you want to have your craft name or call sign on the back of the pod, contact me!
