Xiaomi Yi Action Camera Holder / Mount for Tarot T-2D T2D 2-Axis Gimbal

thingiverse

I created this custom Xiaomi Yi Cam holder because the original holder wouldn't fit without a struggle. It's also super frustrating when you can't access the video output for FPV or quickly swap out your SD card. My custom print is made from 50% infilled ABS, which weighs about 16 grams - that's exactly like the original holder. The weight makes it stable and secure. I updated to version v4 after hearing some complaints about version one. Don't worry; v4 works great, thanks for the inspiration from the remix model! I would really appreciate any feedback you might have - testing new items is not always a luxury we enjoy, and time keeps moving. Instructions: Printing with ABS/PETG or other similar materials (PLA won't cut it) will help when drilling an M3 thread. Be sure to set your printer to the right settings for these thicker filaments! Drilling M2.5 threads with the smaller screws isn't too much trouble - they should already come with what you need for this part. When assembling everything, keep in mind that the standard screws from the original may be a bit too short, so get yourself some extra M2.5 ones (these might have to be bought). Also grab some camera-specific 1/4" screw mounts; they're essential to keep the whole system intact and well-balanced - a few are offered for a reasonable price here on banggood: http://www.banggood.com/14-Inch-Camera-Screws-For-Camera-Tripod-Monopod-Quick-Release-p-926699.html
