Replacement for the top plate of the $9 Liantian 130 frame. This replacement is likely a clone of a well-known product and available under multiple names. The top plate has been designed to securely hold the Runcam Swift Micro, with test versions featuring a generic micro cam. This design prioritizes ease of printing over durability, utilizing rigid plastic for a lightweight structure that is simple to install and compact in size. Printing multiple units may be advisable due to their light weight and low inertia, which could potentially lead to damage. After several flights, this setup has proven to be a significant improvement over the previous configuration with this frame. The Micro Swift fits perfectly when pushed into place completely square with the mount points. This ensures enough contact area for a secure camera angle without needing to overtighten the screws. For now, lights are simply hot-glued onto the back of the plate, but it remains undecided whether creating a custom mounting system would be worthwhile.
