Description
Nylon zip tie mounting is often preferred so you can use the mount on different airframes.
But if you would rather the mount had a more permanent attachment - there is a ‘no zip ties main body that offers a couple ways to affix it to your airframe with screws or glue (or both).
When printing, I stand it on the trailing end and use the paint on supports to support the inner edge of the camera mount. But you don't have to. I even did a test where decreased the layer height just at the overhang and it worked pretty good as well.
I set the base layer height to .20mm and perimeters to 3 most of the time, sometimes I do 100% infill though I've really not seen any greater strength with this design.
This configuration allows you to record the flight in both directions, for those times were you might want to review how the well recovery system deployment worked.
The mount can be attached flat, the included base is designed for a 5" diameter airframe. I've included the STEP file if you need to modify the base for a different size.
