PZ Ka8 Single Camera Canopy

thingiverse

This is Version 2 of my camera canopy for the ParkZone Ka8. This builds off the previous version, which can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3146658. While the previous version worked extremely well, having two cameras in the nose added a significant amount of weight. The plane seemed to handle it well, but I wanted to pare it back a bit. I redesigned the mounts to be lighter in weight and dropped down to one camera. I decided not to side mount the camera if there was only one, so I modified the mount to hold it up at an angle so it would look out of the front of the plane while still fitting within the canopy. This is the series of cameras I used from Vivitar https://www.target.com/p/vivitar-action-camera-blue-720p-hd/-/A-50558359?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Electronics+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Electronics&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9012718&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3-7-iP763QIVw1YNCh10CQHREAQYBCABEgIe_fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds, although it will probably fit others of similar dimension. I've already printed the parts and made some minor changes to them (already loaded in the files here), but I have not test flown this version yet.
