GoPro based Monitor/Phone Mount for Spektrum Radios by Gerd_S

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I was using the FPV Monitor Mount designed by user @BigOrangeFish for a while with my Blackpearl monitor and a Spektrum DX6 radio.

This mount is very good and robust but uses a custom connection between radio adapter and monitor adapter which is not compatible to anything else.
As I also needed to design a Phone Mount for my DJI Phantom 2 radio I thought I could make it interchangable with other radios by using a standard GoPro interface.
So I changed the original design to be GoPro compatible.
Time will show if it is robust enough for holding a quite heavy monitor, but it definitively works well with a phone.
This project contains just the GoPro adapter for newer Spektrum radios (DX6, DX8i etc.), a compatible monitor adapter and a converter for use with the smartphone adapter designed by user @Macaca.

I designed the monitor adapter with a support for the monitor's back side, so the forces are not all passing through the tripod screw, as the thread within the monitor is very weak for some models. To adapt to a specific monitor model, add some double-sided adhesive foam pads to the mount until it fits with your monitor and add a piece of cloth tape as the last layer as shown of the picture.
