Description
This remix is meant to address my concern with the case change removing the heatsink that the original case provided to the camera. In addition to vent holes, I also added a heatsink to the copper pad to help with dissipation. Won't know if this is adequate enough for the camera until summer comes around, but probably better than not!
I've only changed the "bottom" part.
The bottom piece now has vent holes. I also changed the cable slot to be on one side, and also changed its position to be towards the back instead of sandwiched between the two pieces. This seemed to line up the cable with the groove a bit better, at least based on the cable slack I had.
I used one of these heatsinks cut to appropriate size with a rotary tool.

I also used this 200mm runcam cable for the gimbal itself since I used the O3 version, and the O3 camera cable is not compatible with O4 camera. You can see the slack between the module and the gimbal with this cable length based on their mounted distance in one of the included images.

This video demonstrates how to replace the camera cable on the gimbal.
