<p>Tripod neck mount for FPV 5" monitor + DVR for Ground Station.</p> <p>The motivation for this project came from building a ground station and realizing that people have very messy setups with lot's of wires sticking out. So I decided to make this one unit with only two ports for power and video. You can buy a monitor with built in DVR but that is expensive route and where is the fun in it?. This is fairly inexpensive and elegant setup.</p> <p>Plan to use Quanum Overlord Diversity on top of the tripod and this module on the side of the tripod connected to Quanum Overlord or another ground station.</p> <p>The DVR in my Fat Shark goggles stopped working after my Laforge mod and never worked reliably since. So, I bought a cheap DVR. This setup would be good for finding lost models by replaying video in the field + when bystanders are curious about what the heck am I doing? they can watch me fly on the little monitor. The video resolution from FPV TX sucks for viewing on the computer or posting online, but on 5" monitor looks great.</p> <p>DVR https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019F2JW20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</p> <p>5" monitor (Monitor comes with wires coming from the back. - Unslolder the wires and make a hole on the side of the monitor enclosure and route the wires through it, for access to DVR opening.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-inch-TFT-LCD-Car-Rear-View-Rearview-Monitor-With-Stand-Reverse-Backup-Camera/282298344204?hash=item41ba4ae30c:g:cGEAAOSwEzxYWeuc">https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-inch-TFT-LCD-Car-Rear-View-Rearview-Monitor-With-Stand-Reverse-Backup-Camera/282298344204?hash=item41ba4ae30c:g:cGEAAOSwEzxYWeuc</a></p> <p>10mm diameter DC power plug</p> <p>and RCA video without housing.</p> <p>Used DC to DC adjustable voltage regulator <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-MP1584-3A-Adjustable-DC-Step-Down-Converter-Buck-Module-3-3V-5V-9V-12V-24V/132416728307?hash=item1ed4a6ecf3:g:hAUAAOSwytJaSTM5">https://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-MP1584-3A-Adjustable-DC-Step-Down-Converter-Buck-Module-3-3V-5V-9V-12V-24V/132416728307?hash=item1ed4a6ecf3:g:hAUAAOSwytJaSTM5</a></p> <p>so I can power the whole rig from 12v DC -- DVR requires 5VDC</p> <p>And lastly, here is the mount for this setup which fits on the neck of the tripod <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2748913">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2748913</a></p> <p>This was designed with monitor to be removable and secured with 1/4 20 bolt and a wing nut.</p> <p>printed all of this with PETG my favorite print material.</p> Category: R/C Vehicles
