Phantom 3 Payload Bridge by bgill

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The idea of this project was to generate a payload bridge for the DJI Phantom 3 that can carry any device, such as lights, cameras or 360 cameras (what I built it for).
THIS DESIGN WAS DONE WITHOUT A PHANTOM 3. I GOT MANY REQUESTS TO CREATE A PHANTOM 3 BRIDGE, SO I WAIT TO GET CONFIRMATION THAT IT FITS.
For mounting cameras - to avoid the yellow effect - a damper is required between the camera mount and the payload bridge. Additionally, I recommend to secure the camera mount with the bride with 2 cable binders through the central hole.
Besides the printed part you need to purchase the 1/4" screws and the dampers.
You can find them here:

For the dampers the hole size should be 7 mm.
As my first mounting plate was not long enough (too much drone in the video, see attached video) I extended the drone mount in the attached STL file.
I printed all parts in PET (white) or t-glase (silver grey) at 100 %.
My first test video of the setup with the Phantom 4 bridge can be found in Youtube:https://youtu.be/YqrhieAhr_4.
If you like it - tip me.
Attention: Flying with payload changes the flying behavior of your Phantom 4. Avoid windy conditions when flying with payload. Also avoid fast movements. Plan for longer descent times. Always fly carefully.
Overloading your Phantom can lead to overheating the engines and fast battery drain.
