FPV/HD Vertical Tail Mount (Caddx and Runcam)

thingiverse

I watched a video from GizFPV on YouTube where he featured a Runcam Split Mini3 mounted on his Radian's tail, and he kindly shared the STL file with me. However, since the Caddx Turtle board layout is unique, I decided to adapt his idea for my TurtleV2 instead. The sensor housing has slots on top and bottom for easy wire management, allowing the sensor to be positioned with wires exiting from either end. The mount features undersized holes for M2 screws, requiring a nut on the backside for secure mounting. The main sensor portion is designed to be snug enough to hold the camera sensor firmly in place without needing an additional "Sensor cover." This design includes a metal plate on the exterior for cooling purposes and also serves as a housing for the ribbon cable connector attached to the PCB. To fit the housing, you may need to remove the plug-style connector from the PCB; fortunately, mine was already broken, so I only use soldered wires. Consequently, my print does not include the tan plastic piece connecting the PCB to the print. GizFPV's video showcasing his design can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/WQoSGq0DrnU?t=249 *Updated 2020/04/15* I have added a Runcam Split Mini2 design, which offsets the camera to align better with the vertical tail plane. I printed this version with the PDB mounting surface facing upwards and supports beneath it for stability.
