FPV tripod battery mount

thingiverse

This is a versatile battery mount that enables users to securely attach lipo batteries to nearly any tripod for seamless use with FPV ground stations. A convenient battery strap can be employed to keep the battery firmly in place, or alternatively, Velcro can be utilized for added convenience. Assembly: To join the two parts together, six 10mm countersunk screws are required. I prefer using "10mm M2.5 countersunk machine screws," which can be easily sourced at an affordable price on eBay. The holes are meticulously designed to accommodate this specific size, ensuring a smooth and effortless screwing process. Installation: Once assembled, the mount is securely fastened onto the tripod leg utilizing double-sided foam tape. To guarantee a rock-solid hold, two 5mm cable ties are strategically placed to keep the mount firmly in position. Files: The STL files come with both standard and smoothed versions, offering users flexibility and customization options. Additionally, Sketchup design files are included, allowing users to modify the design according to their preferences. Info: I personally utilize a 3S 3000-5000mAh lipo battery for optimal performance. When printing this mount, I opt for a 25% infill with three shells, as my ground station is frequently used and requires added durability.
