AstroX X5 Johnny FPV Runcam Micro Eagle Mount by gregframe

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

First all, I love this camera. Connect to a RX/TX pad and you have full control from your OSD. Second I love this frame, I have beat the heck out of it and it flies like a dream. Ok on to this mount.
I really like the carbon fiber sides of the AstroX X5. They really protect your gear and keep it a little cleaner inside. However I wanted to mount this camera and keep the carbon sides but unfortunately it is only 19mm wide. I tried spacers and that works great, however, I was constantly having to tighten the camera and reposition after a crash. That is no fun. So, my new holder has a fixed 20 degrees of up-tilt (freestyle version, 30 on my race version) and moves the camera a little forward to get a little better field of view (remember this cam will do 16:9). I added a capacitor mount inside because their is plenty of room to keep it from rattling around. However, you can clip this out if this is where your VTX or TX resides, or stick a beeper in there.
