Hawkeye Firefly Micro Cam 2 TPU Mount

thingiverse

This is a completely original design by nerdCopter. [Warning, if you downloaded this in the first hour of publishing, abort; some Tinkercad exports were bad.] The Hawkwye Firefly Micro Cam 2 was released, but the included hard-mount causes mega-jello. The Micro 2's rolling shutter is highly susceptible to jello, especially at 30fps. Only 60fps is recommended. Provided here are three "seats" for your Micro Cam 2 with 30°, 35°, and 40° angles. The seats are 30mm wide with a 44mm seat (about 38mm of seat surface plus curvature). The wall thickness is 3mm and hopefully not too thick to dampen vibrations. EDIT1: I was forced to inch my camera up as forward as possible to avoid the lipo battery, so I may have to design an extended version 2. But this is still usable with a proper strap. (Read as Todd the included straps and find a good wide strap. Just click the power button through the strap and listen for the beeps.) EDIT2: I found the wall-thickness to be very good, but there is still some left-right movement. I have found that stuffing the void with high-density foam helps. I use the high-density foam from a curtain rod packaging. It is the same material found in the EMax motor packaging and the Eachine VTX packaging for reference. However, you may need to find a proper size material and cut to shape. Cut it slightly large to stuff it tight, not loose. The mount should be zip-tied to your quadcopter, and the camera should be velcro'd with upgraded velcro-straps and silicone shielding. The included velcro straps will break before long. I would love to hear feedback on any prints for further refinement. This is used on my iFlight XL7 and my Screech 5/6. I used double-sided foam-tape to attach, then triple, maybe quadruple, zip-tied to the frames. The sticky-tape should slightly dampen vibrations also. I found that my TPU mount for my original Firefly Cam v1 did nothing to protect it from a hard crash, so why bother with a box!???
