FPV *Pod* Mount: for O3, Walksnail, anything, Max-FOV, no props, max protection, any quad, any cam!

Companion project to my other parametric configurable FPV designs:

Pod | O4 | Frame Whoop Action2 , 3-5 AcePro GoPro Mini Hero 9-12 Antenna Mount

Protect your FPV camera with TPU in front of the lens for maximum protection but still with a clean image. How? I've modeled each camera's field-of-view (FOV) and built my design around that. My flexible on-demand design can mount in different positions (closer-in or props-hidden) with different RX antennae, GPS mount additions, and be configured for any camera tilt angle.

This is an ON-DEMAND design!

Only a few basic 10º versions are posted here, everything else is made for you (for free) on my 3D Design discord . You choose what options, I make you designs, you send me photos of your builds! See the Steps below.

New things:

- I've made a new Instagram account for showcasing users' prints of my designs! - O4 Pro / Lite Pod design page now live! - Need an Antenna Mount ? I've got a project for that too! - Thingiverse page is live! Go add a ❤ to save it for reference later! - post a make to show off your build and inspire others! - New: Now Supporting All the FPV Cameras New redesign now finally also supports other FPV cameras! Even analog cameras! - O4 Pro / standard / lite → see the special design page - 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! - Got vibration / jello / jittery video issues? I've got a whole section on this at the bottom! - 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!

- 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) - - .. more every day!

Any quad is fair game, ping me on discord !

- Pick your uptilt angle(s)

- Cinewhoops: 10-20º - Cinematic/Long Range: 20º - Freestyle: 25-30º - Racing: 40º+

- 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.

- Forward Position

How far forward do you want you camera? Do you want your props in view? How much?

- ND-Filter support - None - Offers the most TPU protection! - Wide - Example: Freewell filters [ amazon ] - 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 [ aliexpress ] - Extra bulky, still cause vignetting.

- 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 down below.

- 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!

- GPS Integrated Addition

Works best with smaller GPSs and/or longer forward positions.

9. Request the STL

- Join my discord to request your specific custom version!

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.
