Description

This FPV camera protector for the GEPRC LX5/LSX5 Leopard and complementary GoPro mount is a bit of a Frankenstein. If you do not need the GoPro mount, I recommend the thing by Zytra (linked below), as it is what I used for inspiration and validation of measurements.

Things exist that combine the GoPro mount and FPVcamera protector as 1 thing, but I wanted to be able to use different materials for each part, interchange different angles individually if I wanted, as well as not lose any strength. I designed this such that the GoPro mount fully attaches to the top standoff and the FPV camera protector sits on top of/outside of the GoPro mount. It all goes together securely to my satisfaction. You'll need 1 additional 20mm round standoff for the rear of the GoPro mount. Additionally, I wanted to be able to swap the GoPro in and out of the mount easily, so I added slots for securing the front of the mount with zip ties. Otherwise, it is a bear to insert or remove.

I expect the FPV camera protector works best with the side plates I remixed.

I used several things as inspiration and measurement validation, but all objects were built new. The key piece that helped me was the Fusion360 source file linked by joem_ in his Session mount thing. This provided an accurate model of the metal pod for the LX5 to build from.
