Stealthwings Raphax GoPro Hero Nose Mount

thingiverse

This is a simple but effective Nose Mount for the Stealthwings Raphax. See: https://www.stealthwings.com/product/raphax-1000mm/ The FPV Cam compartment fits Mini Size Cameras with 22mm housing or smaller with an adapter. The GoPro compartment has a tight fit for a Hero 5 Black, Hero 6 Black or Hero 7. The included Velcro slots include a metal rod slit. You can use a piece of pushrod wire (1-1.5mm) to wrap the celcro around it and fix it inside the mount. Then just glue some velcro at the bottom to have a good contact and secure the camera. Cut down the Foam a bit further compared to the wood walls. The Top hatch will then be glued onto the rail on the mount. There are different versions with different cam down tilt angles. 7° down tilt for Cruising and better view to the ground. 4° down tilt for mixed flying and a flat version with no down tilt for mainly acrobatic flying and better upside down view. Keep in mind that using a Gopro and a big Battery might make the plane nose heavy. Only recommended with a powerful and big motor like a 2820 or bigger. Update 12.12.2020: I have added a blank nose with just the FPV cam spacing and also the Fusion 360 Project file for easier remixes. Have fun guys.
