ZMR250 Quadcopter GoPro Mount

thingiverse

I'm designing a custom GoPro mount for the ZMR250 Chinese Quadcopter frame, primarily because most standard camera mounts are only suitable for upward-facing angles during FPV racing. I envisioned creating a system where I could send my quad flying and capture excellent footage by slightly tilting the camera downwards. Utilizing a classic GoPro mounting setup allows me to adjust the angle and tilt the camera upwards, straight on, or downward towards the ground as required. The design employs a standard GoPro skeleton frame, along with a nut and adjustable knob for precision tuning. The mount features a centered hole that enables wires to pass through and connect to the FPV transmitter when used in an FPV configuration. To date, I've been fortunate enough to fly numerous times without any issues related to the mount, which gives me reason to believe it might be reasonably durable. However, if you're still concerned about durability, I strongly recommend using a tether for added security. It's worth noting that V2 of this design boasts significant improvements over its predecessor. Firstly, the base thickness has been increased to 4mm (originally 2mm), providing greater stability and structural integrity. Secondly, the height from the bottom of the base to the center of the mount hole has been raised to a substantial 25mm (or 1 inch), significantly expanding the design's capabilities. Print Settings: Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.30mm Infill: 45% Notes: Print the base upside down for optimal results. Post-Printing: Once printed, I strongly recommend a thorough cleaning to remove any excess filament or debris, as this will ensure smooth and seamless integration with your camera and other equipment.
