Vidroc 808 camera mounts

I made this mount to work with the range of 808 cameras (that I have a few of). This makes a sturdy protective mount. Designed to be screwed directly onto the rocket using small tapered screws, there’s a curvature for most body tubes so I would suggest using good double stick tape on the edges of the mount along with the screws.

The thicker (15mm) 808 cameras snap in place and really don't need anything to contain them but the thinner ones (13mm) need to be fastened using small nylon zip ties.

Unloading the video from the camera requires removal of the camera from the mount . I could make an opening for the USB port(s) but in the end felt there were too many different types of cables to try and accommodate.

With version 2 I added a slot on the base that will allow you to use a large nylon zip tie to temporarily attach it to your air frame. BUT NOTE - if you look at the image, I over tightened this mount without support under it and the plastic broke away a little. If you use double stick tape to compensate for the curve of the body tube and don't over tighten it, this problem shouldn't occur.

In V3 I've reinforced the nylon slot at the base and added an opening for the USB port so you don't have to remove the camera from the mount to access the video or charge it. You may want to tape over this for flight, just to reduce the risk of crap getting in there should the file be less than nominal.
