FPV Mount for FPVRaptor

thingiverse

This project is an FPV mount system fitting a Fat Shark camera and transmitter into the cockpit of an FPVRaptor from HobbyKing. Note that it's not a tracking mount, but has a pivot for adjustable vertical alignment. The camera mount slots into the servo hole of a tracking setup, while the transmitter holder is glued and taped behind the camera. The prints are small, requiring minimal filament. Design parameters include 0.3mm layer thickness and 0.6mm wall thickness. A 5% fill was used with single-layer top and bottom layers. The Blender files are included for adjustments if needed. A recess in the transmitter holder's back plate requires card inserts during printing, removable after completion. A screwdriver, two M3 screws/nuts, glue, and a knife or file are required. The transmitter is mounted close to the camera for cooling purposes, secured by rubber bands or cycle inner tube bits. Canopy development is ongoing using a DIY vacuum former from MAKE magazine issue 11. However, the initial result had fine detail reproduction issues due to mould imperfections. Weather permitting, a test flight is planned soon.
