New: Now Supporting All the FPV Cameras
New redesign now finally also supports other FPV cameras! Even analog cameras!
- Naked O3
- Nebula Pro
- DJI Air Unit camera
- Runcam Phoenix
- Walksnail Avatar HD Pro
- Walksnail Moonlight
- Others? Just ask in my Discord. May need you to take a few measurements!
Max-FOV, nothing in view
Meticulously modeled a 3D representation of the camera's field-of-view. Now the mount allows maximum TPU protection in front of the lens while perfectly avoiding being visible.
Only basic 10º versions are uploaded here. Everything else is made on-demand! All ND filter versions, tilt options, positioning, vertical/horizontal variations are made on-demand when you message me:
- Join my 3D Design discord!
- All requests are optionally donation-supported, on-demand!
- Response within 24h!
- Please read the “steps” below first!
- Please, no dms. They're much harder to organize, reply-to and will take a few weeks.
- See this design's printables page too.
- The downloads are organized by manufacturer!
- each file is 3d-previewable
- it's much easier to write/maintain the documentation.. so there's lots more!
- Other related designs of mine:
- Got vibration / jello / jittery video issues? I've got a whole section on this at the bottom of my printables page!
- New Lens Cap design! 2023-03 now there's a way to protect your whole camera and ND. See the files tab!
Just Follow the Steps!
Step 1: Pick your quad(s)
What quad you got?? I've made a highly flexible, adaptive system, with over 80 different bases in my database, new ones every day. (Yes the photo above is from my Action2 design database.. it's what I'm pulling from to populate this new O3 Pod database!)
So far I've added
- AOS standard (AOS 5, LR5, UL5, etc etc), AOS 3.5, AOS Falcon 7,
- ImpulseRC: Apex, Micro Apex, Reverb
- iFlight: standard (XL5-Nazgul, SL5-Cidora, F5D-Evoque, etc), Chimera 6 + 7, Chimera4 DC, Nazgul F6 DC, Titan DC5
- TBS: Source-One: V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5
- Rotor Riot: Bubby Moxy, CL1, etc
- FPVCycle: Glide, Toothfairy 2
- GepRC: Mark-2, Mark 4, Crocodile Baby 4
- Heks Frames: Joocy
- Hyperlite: Floss3
- Lumenier: QAV-S JB, QAV-S Mini
- Rekon: 4 LR, R5, R6, R10
- Flywoo Explorer
- Ummagawd: Demibot
- Vanover: Vannystyle
- Quadmula Siren F5
- Quadmula Siren F3
- Falconrad: RAD Scout
- Ethix: Cinerat
- Emax: Babyhawk II HD
- Diatone: Roma F35
- Dave_C: MicroLongRange
- Banggood: Steele 5
- Banggood Strech X5 Freestyle 220mm
- Air blade: Transformer Mini 4in
- Five33 Spec 7, Switchback Pro (beta)
- ...
- and more. See 'files' and, even better, the files over on printables that are organized into folders by manufacturer!
Step 2: Pick your uptilt angle(s)
- Cinewhoops: 10-20º
- Cinematic/Long Range: 20º
- Freestyle: 25-30º
- Racing: 40º+
Step 7: Wall size
Flying a 3 or 4" and want it as lightweight as possible?
- Standard size: 2mm most places, 3mm around the lens. Usually ~6g
- Thin walls: 1.2 walls, 1.6 around lens. Usually ~4g.
- Ask about any variations you'd like.
Step 4: Forward Positioning
How far forward do you want your camera? Do you want your props in view? How much?
Step 5: ND-Filter support
- None
- Offers the most TPU protection!
- Wide
- Example: Freewell filters
- Wide view, full FOV, no vignetting.
- Gives the most TPU protection but filters be less durable in extreme impacts.
- Tall
- Example: GepRC filters. Clip-in vertically to top and bottom
- Example: Flywoo filters. Clips on top only.
- Will have vignetting on the edges in wider modes. This is a flaw in the filter design.
- Less TPU protection, filters may be a little more durable for extreme impacts.
- Universal
- Supports both wide and tall NDs
- Offers the least camera protection.
- Best combined with the thick option!
- Extra large
- Example: Sky-End filters
- Extra bulky, still cause vignetting.
Step 6: Vibration Isolation
- Standard: None! The standard already eliminates many peoples' jello issues.
- Cut-out isolation style (on the right)
- The best balance of vibration absorption, weight reduction, durability, and easy printing.
- Only for longer forward offsets ~15mm or further forward.
- Vibration Isolated with mini suspension
- Will be MORE susceptible to low-frequency oscillations from your tune/filters!
- Most people get jello from tune oscillations! This won't help and often hurts.
- See my “Vibration? Jello? Jitters?” section over on printables!
- 99% of time the jello your O3 shows is from your quad oscillating, not from vibration. Ask me in my discord how to debug and solve oscillation.
Step 7: Antenna Mounting
Want to mount your RX antennas in front on the camera mount? There's three ways:
- TBS Immortal-T
- low-profile design, see photos below!
- uses zip-ties (or twist-ties like I use!) to attach
- ELRS
- Single T-style antenna (just like the larger TBS style)
- Diversity style: one horizontal on the bottom + one vertical on the side next to the standoff.
- Placing an antenna on the side may not fit on all frames
- Leave a gap on the standoffs for an existing mount. Works great!
Step 8: GPS
Works best with smaller GPSs and/or longer forward positions.
I recommend the Walksnail WS-M181, HGLRC M100 MINI, Beitian BE220 M8N / BN-220, GOKU GM10 Mini V3, GOKU GM10 Nano V3, BZGNSS BZ-181, and the TBS M8.2 GPS. And my design supports many more!
Step 9: Request the STL!
- Join my 3D Design discord!
- All requests are optionally donation-supported, on-demand!
- Response within 24h!
- Please read the “steps” below first!
- Please, no dms. They're much harder to organize, reply-to and will take a few weeks.
Everything is generated on-demand with the settings you ask for. Why?
- The STLs in the ‘files’ section are outdated.
- I can't possibly keep re-exporting, uploading, and organizing 80+ STLs after each tweak!
- They don't have the configuration you want.
- I can't possibly upload all the variations!
- User feedback is VITAL to making this project work. I need to hear from folks.
-> So request it! I've set up my discord as a cool queue system. I'll get you your custom STL in less than 24h, usually right away.
Step 9: Print the Mount
- Print with TPU filament, slowly
- Use tree support if your slicer supports it
- Best printed as oriented in the STL
- Use 2 or 3 perimeter walls for most setups. 3 walls+ for bando bashing.
- Infill: Use 20 - 40% infill.
That's it! Go fly!
Got vibration / jello / jitters?
More details on printables
I've added a whole section on fixing vibration / jello / jitters which can be really tough to get rid of on the O3 video. It's easier to write/maintain documentation over there so go check it out!
Again: BEWARE, what's uploaded here is OUTDATED
Seriously. I just can't keep reuploading and categorizing 60+ STLs. Tweaks are always happening based on feedback. Thicker base, more material here, less there, on and on. So:
Want the Latest Version? Missing your Quad?
Message me! discord! The 60+ mount designs I've uploaded here (see files!) are updated after every tidbit of feedback I get and are all already out-of-date. Message me for the latest version!
New quads/variations for folks all the time. I may already have the one you need.
It's really zero trouble, I can export configurations on my phone and send them over instantly.
