RunCam Split Mount for Alien & others

thingiverse

This is a custom mount I created for my Runcam Split camera that brings the lens forward and up, effectively reducing visible prop interference in high-definition footage. Depending on the frame rate and camera angle, some props may still be visible. I designed this mount specifically for frames like the Impulse Alien and similar models. It also fits well with other frames I have worked with, including a Clone Alien frame that's quite different from my original setup. One notable feature of this mount is its integrated beeper mounting system, which provides easy access to your drone's audio signals. Additionally, it comes equipped with a front guard that protects the camera lens from impact damage since it's now exposed outside the frame. To print this design, simply set it up as-is and hit print – no supports needed due to strategically placed angles that ensure smooth printing. I've personally printed mine in PLA, and after months of extensive use, it held up remarkably well. However, eventually, it did break, but only after sustaining significant damage; when it finally gave way, the internal structure remained intact. If you're looking for an even more durable option, consider printing this design in PETG – I'm confident that would make it nearly indestructible. Please note: You will need slightly longer screws to secure the camera properly.
