Ultralight 720p actioncam using Hubsan X4 H107C camera module

Buddy wanted those files printed so I decided to publish them just in case someone else needed a copy. I bought a Hubsan X4 H107C a few years ago and was not impressed with its performance. In an effort to make it more responsive, I took out anything that wasn't essential. This included removing the built-in camera module. Recently, I got into micro brushless FPV quads and wanted a on-board camera to record flights without the static from the VTX. Problem was even the Runcam HD and Mobius were too heavy, so I pulled out the Hubsan camera module and made this case to hold everything in place. It has openings for the record switch and microSD slot. You can buy those modules separately by searching for H107C-A34 for the 720p camera module or H107C-A28 for the older standard def camera. I wasn't planning on opening it up, so instead of using screws, I simply heat-staked the top and bottom together with a soldering iron. It works perfectly and weighs almost nothing. If I had to recase this, I would use thinner wires and skip the JST connector; the ones I used ended up being a significant portion of the entire weight! This unit is compatible with both the original SD camera and the newer 720p camera module from the H107C. I have no idea if the camera from the Hubsan X4+ works, but it's possible. I printed it at 0.1mm height without any support or rafts. P.S. To print this correctly, simply flip the lid over 180 degrees. It's in the default orientation that Fusion360 exported the component (which was part of an assembly). P.P.S. The camera runs on 3.3V.
