Runcam Split mount for Armattan Chameleon

thingiverse

With this mod you can fit a Runcam Split FPV camera into the Armattan Chameleon frame instead of a dedicated FPV cam. This way there's no need for a separate HD cam, making the whole build lighter and the camera is far enough up front to (almost) not see the props in the HD footage. The Chameleon's original camera holder is rather complex but doesn't work with the Runcam Split. That's why I replaced most of the original parts with one single component that takes the cam and mounts to the frame. The uptilt is 30 degrees. The two holes used for connecting to the frame are intentionally bigger than the M3 screws in the frame (I'm using two pairs of short nylon screws). This gives a little wiggle space between the screws and the camera mount, hopefully reducing the chance of camera jello. Caution #1: be sure to use at least one long M3 screw to link both metal halves, or you'll risk bending them in a crash. Caution #2: make sure to print the camera mount with the correct orientation, lying on its side so it looks like a "C" and not like a "U". Although this needs support, the part is much stronger (against forward forces, as in a frontal crash).
