X-Labs Shrike GoPro Mounts (replaces Top Plate) by add1ct3dd

Last crawled date: 4 years ago

This replaces the entire top-plate for the X-Labs.us Shrike frame.
I wanted something that could fit a recording camera on, and with no solution out there already I took to learning how to do it myself.
Currently has the following features:
SMA VTX Mount (may need adjustments to finetune location)
35 degree GoPro / Xiaomi Yi Mount
Holes for Cable ties to attach RX antennas.
Multiple HS1177 Mounting options (M3 or 2x M2).
Overall I'm pleased with it. I will fly it and adjust accordingly, so please treat this as work in progress
NEW 26/02/2016: Added a V4.5 under the files section - has only the 2 outer screws for the HS1177 to help with bridging and keep strength, tolerances increased and I would call this a final version. It differs to V3 because you can fit a full-size battery strap IN the mount, to stop any pains of feeding between the camera and it's mounting plate. It is slightly heavier due to needing to be taller, but works well.
This version does require support, but only a small amount.
NEW 28/02/2016: Added a V4.6.1 - This is a 40 degree mount, with a complete redesign of the top section; more rear support and gopro moved forwards to stop fouling the antenna. rear sma-mount made thicker towards the top section - this should stop any breakages at the rear.
NOTE: I also run a Cable-tie around my antenna and gopro strap this means all force is removed from the SMA completely now :)
