Hey, fellow FPV Pilot and Long Range enthusiast! If you're here, you've probably been wondering: "What if I put my GoPro Hero 7 on my TBS Caipirinha 2?" Don't hesitate any longer, give it a try! The TBS Caipirinha 2 is like every flying wing - not as stable in flight as a miniquad. The GoPro Session 5 footage you get from her is always shaky and hard to watch (even with stabilization enabled). It's frustrating to be able to fly long distances with this incredible wing, but not show decent footage to your friends or the community! The GoPro Hero 7 is the solution: with "Hypersmooth" stabilization turned on, it turns your TBS Caipirinha 2 into a perfect Cinematic Long-Range tool that you'll love. But the GoPro Hero 7 isn't easy to install on the TBS Caipirinha. There are actually two ways to do it: 1) One way is to use the skin protection (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3653292), which lets you keep the GoPro SESSION feature. 2) The second way is to use this GoPro HERO 5/6/7 mount, which is more convenient and reliable if you don't need the GoPro SESSION anymore. It's a true GoPro TPU mount, bonded right onto the Caipi! Both designs have been tested and proven to be reliable and crash-resistant. If you have to choose one, just ask yourself: "Do I care about losing the SESSION 5 ability?" If yes, go with the skin protection. If not, choose this design. To use this GoPro mount, you'll need to cut a part of your wing structure that won't be used anymore. Check out the pictures to see how to do it. The TPU mount has to be bonded to the wing with flexible glue (UHU Por, UHU Creativ, HK Foam Cure, etc.). Make sure the bonding joint keeps the assembly flexible - it will keep the structure's optimal toughness. Don't forget to wipe the bonding surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or something equivalent before bonding. Now, show off your Hero 7-equipped Caipirinha flights on YouTube! Happy flying!
