FPV Ground Station 16mm Pole Mounts

After creating my remix of the FR632 holder for my mic stand based ground station, I started creating a number of different pole clamps and T-slot mounts to help organize the other things on my ground station. These clamps attach perfectly to a 16mm microphone stand pole, but might work with other diameters as well.

I designed a bunch of different things to clean up the whole mess:

• Generic Clamp - There are three different versions of this clamp, one normal "fat" one, and a pair of low-profile ones, different only in which side hold the nuts.
• Wire Box - Useful for hiding away all of the power and video wire connections. Connects to the pole via one of the generic clamps.
• Monitor Mount - Used to hold a standard 7" FPV monitor with a mounting T-slot on the back.
• Video Splitter Mount - Used to hold a Boss BVAM5 video signal amplifier and splitter (~$11 on Amazon Prime). If you want to run your signal to goggles, a DVR, the monitor and other stuff, it is nice to have an amp in the signal chain.

The clamps are designed to be connected with a pair of 3/4" long, 8-32 bolts (available at any hardware store), and press-fit recesses are provided for the nut. I'm not sure of the metric equivalent, but a 20mm M4 will be very close.

I printed these with 30% infill and haven't had any issues (yet).

As with most of my designs, I've included the 123D files for easier remixing.
