The Whoopinator- FPV Quad Camera Mount

pinshape

Inspired by the "Tiny Whoop" low cost FPV quadcopter, this mount allows you to quickly attach an FX798T camera to any drone that can carry a 6g payload. This design came about because we have a small, all-female FPV drone racing club that's trying to get off the ground here in Shenzhen. I'm working to get more women and girls interested in this hobby as a gateway to making things. $100+ FPV drones are awesome, but most of us can't really drop 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 - mostly in underground parking lots. 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. The design is based on Oscar Liang's "Whoopee" VTX holder. The print is one piece and more robust than before because many of our races turn into dogfights. The 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. There are two versions - regular and a strong one with an extra protective ring. I use the strong version because I crash... a lot. I'll post my FPV display solution soon.
