Rip-Worthy: Ace Pro, Insta360 TPU Drone Mounts, Max FOV

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 Insta360 Ace Pro camera with the best mount in FPV! Max protection with TPU in front of the lens but still with a clean image. How? I've modeled the camera's field-of-view (FOV) and built my design around it. My flexible on-demand design can fit 300 different frames, different camera angles, ND filter options, positions, etc.

This is an ON-DEMAND design!

Only a few basic 15º 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! - New back LCD protection modular wedge is now standard! See details below - New TBS ND filter redesign slots in from the side! - Thingiverse page is live! Go add a ❤ to save it for reference later! - post a make to show off your build and inspire others! - Part of my on-demand alive 3D design projects. See the table above and all the designs in my profile ! I've made tens-of-thousands of designs and new friends for pilots all across the globe. - Universal GoPro-style attachment version? I can make that too! - Look at all the photos of the makes ! Post your own! Get the version configured for you: just follow the steps!

Step 1: Pick your quad(s)

What quad you got?? I've made a highly flexible, adaptive system, with over 125 different bases, new ones every day. See the files on my Action2 design for some common ones!

Step 2: Pick your uptilt angle(s)

- Cinewhoops: 10-20º - Cinematic/Long Range: 20º - Freestyle: 25-35º - Racing: 40º+

Step 3: Pick your ND Filter (or none!)

- Badass all-around TBS-style plate-glass - 2.5mm thick filters [ tbs site ] Also compatible with the similar 2.5mm thick Camera Butter insert filters. - Held in from top and bottom notches, inserted from either side. - Also works great without filters (and even provides extra protection over no-ND option). The most flexible option! - Optional: overkill TBS-style - It's bigger, heavier, sometimes less durable since it's got a dedicated slot. - Makes camera install/removal much more difficult. - Lens-replacement style - These don't need anything special, just replace the lens with a darker one! - Insta360 Official Over-Lens ND option - Works.. just gigantic, less protective, and very expensive. - Leaves a huge gap when filming without the ND All ND versions/tilts are configured on-demand ! See Step 7 !

Step 4: Camera Positioning

- Standard - Props probably in view - Full size underbelt slot (see below. adds extra protection option and reduces vibration / image jello) - Your quad's frame takes head-on impacts, camera hits second. - Forward - Props hidden (depending on frame) - Small underbelt slot (if any) - Camera is more exposed. Less great for bando bashing.. but also this mount offers lots of protection . - Extra Forward - Props definitely hidden - No underbelt slot option. - Camera is very exposed out-front. Probably not best for bando bashing but great for cinematic.

Step 5: Bolts & Base Options

- Base Thickness: - Standard is now 3.4mm thick . - Thick is 4mm - Bolt style: - Standard size for M3 bolts is a 6mm diameter bolt-head. - Perfect for nearly all M3 bolts and plenty strong. - Big-Boltz, for M3 bolts, has a 8mm diameter bolt head. - Great for things like these FPV Countersunk Washers if you want extra strength/flair. - Shoulder-bolts option. - Great for products like the QuadMula PS-3 Spacers that come with the Quadmula frames.

Step 6: Extra configuration options

- X-Offset : Make the lens more centered over the FPV camera. Many pilots prefer this.. I support it! - Cut-Away Minimal version - Useful for long range quads or cinematic rigs. - See the second photo in the main image area ( or here ) - Underbelt slot allows for an optional battery strap around the camera for extra ejection protection and slightly more front-end hit protection. - Also seems to really reduce jello by allowing for a smaller area for vibration transmission to pass through. Great! - Not included by default on standard mounts. - Base thickness - It's now 4mm by default and holds up great! - Beware: My oldest designs may have been as thin as 2.2mm. - Different camera wall size

Step 7: Request the STL!

Send me a message on discord ! Haven't found a better way to get y'all your STLs yet! 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. - ND filters? Angle that's not 25º? Underbelt option? Thicker base? - I can't possibly upload all the variations! 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 8: Print the Mount

- Print with TPU filament, slowly - Use tree support if your slicer supports it - Best printed on its side (as oriented in the STL). - Use 2 perimeter walls for most setups. 3 walls for bando bashing. - Infill: Use 20 - 30% cubic infill - 15 - 20% for most setups - 25 - 30% infill for bando bashing - Really don't go above 30% infill, it just adds extra weight but no strength benefit. Also look at the makes section for other users' tips!

Step 9: Print the Back LCD Wedge (new rev 6+!)

New Modular LCD / Battery Protection Wedge ! Keep your LCD and battery in-tact, even after huge direct-hit crashes. My new modular wedge design slots into the back of the mount and fills the gap between the camera and your battery.

Pardon the photos showing my Action2 Mount design . Still need some new photos of this cam!

The new design prints in two parts. Easy access to the rear bolts! Easy weight savings for long range flights!

Wedge-specific print settings:

- Also print in TPU - Just 1 perimeter wall! More is wasteful and overkill for this part. - Use Cubic infill pattern - Between 16 - 26% infill depending on how fast you're flying. - Optionally: zero top/bottom layers.. saves weight and looks pretty cool. Also look at the makes section for other users' tips!

Step 10: Cut the USB/SD door & relief cuts

To aid in printing the side USB/SD door is kept connected but with thin walls. If you'd like access to that side door while inside the case then two cuts (colored in red) work in tandem with a built-in hinge area to allow easy opening!

Step 11: Post your makes!

Please post 'em! Really! Take a cameraphone photo with your dope color matched mount in all its glory and show it off! Plus it really helps get this design out there to the world

To aid in printing the USB/SD door is kept connected but with thin walls. If you'd like access to the SD card / USB port while inside the case then two cuts (colored in red) work in tandem with a built-in hinge area to allow easy opening!

That's it! Go fly!

Again: BEWARE, what's uploaded here is OUTDATED FAST

Seriously. I just can't keep re-uploading and categorizing 120+ 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? ND Filters?

Message me! discord ! The 120 + 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!
