*Improved* Mobula6 Pinch mount

thingiverse

This is an improved version of my Mobula6 canopy Pinch Camera adapter. This one uses the camera-holding design from RAB's awesome folded canopy, but I wanted to have the protection, light weight and instant angle adjustability of the Mobula 6 canopy. I had previously used a design which push fits over the camera PCB, but this was difficult to put on, and often popped out during hard crashes. This should solve that problem! As a bonus it is also a tiny bit lighter. Mobula6 canopy + side screws comes to 0.70g (you need to trim the opening a little bit for the larger Pinch lens, otherwise it will be in the camera feed). This adapter weighs 024g for a total of 0.94g. The Pound mount weighs 1.0g, most other printed designs are over 1g, and have no angle adjustability, plus they rest directly on the FC. This means that any hard inverted crash will put pressure on the FC, possibly turning it into a taco, or cracking the solder joints on the chips. There are some folding print designs that are lighter - some are only half a gram, but these are flimsy enough that any inverted crash will push the camera into the FC, and offer no protection for the camera lens. The mobula6 canopy has 5mm clearance between the bottom of the pinch camera and the FC, and is sturdy enough to handle almost any hard crash. All pressure from the crash goes into the whoop frame (mounting posts) so this keeps the electronics protected. My Mobula6 + Pinch camera + 10 reny screws (2 metal) + EP2 external receiver + BT2.0 battery plug weighs 20.28g, only 0.28g more than stock (despite the heavier camera, external RX and heavier plug!). Its no 0702 ultralight, but its a hardcore basher that can handle just about any crash. Print in TPU with 100% infill, supports touching build plate
