The Whoopinator- FPV Quad Camera Mount

thingiverse

Inspired by the "Tiny Whoop" low cost FPV quadcopter, this mount makes it easy to add an FX798T camera to any drone that can carry a 6g payload quickly.\nThis design came about because we have a small, ladies FPV drone racing club that we're trying to get off the ground here in Shenzhen. I'm working hard to get more women and girls interested in the hobby as a gateway to making things. (Flying leads to crashing, and crashing leads to fixing and improving.)\n$100+ FPV drones are awesome but most of us can't really afford to spend that kind of money on a hobby and can't afford to crash a drone that costs that much while learning, so we've been focusing on stock micro quads and indoor parking lot racing (underground parking lots mostly). We've only got a few cameras and a random collection of quads so I came up with this rig so we could quickly attach an FX798T to whatever we have and get racing fast.\nThe design is based on Oscar Liang's "Whoopee" VTX holder. The print is one piece and somewhat more robust since many of our races turn into dogfights. Total weight of the FX798T, holder and zip-tie is over 6g. We've been strapping them to JJRC H8 Mini's but it fits just fine on my Syma X5C as a trainer quad.\nThere are two versions, regular and strong with an extra protective ring. I use the strong version since I crash a lot.\nI'll post my FPV display solution soon...\nPrint Settings\nPrinter: FlashForge Creator Pro\nRafts: No\nSupports: No\nResolution:.15mm\nInfill: 50-100%\nNotes: ABS or PLA is fine. I've never had one break since micro quads weigh so little.
