I made this to hold the Gitup F1 camera and a micro size FPV camera (I'm using the Micro Eagle here) on my Skyhunter. It uses the GWS S125 sail winch servo for a 360º pan, and a smaller servo for tilt. I use a Turnigy 380MAX that I had as a spare, but just about any 9g+ servo should work, it just sticks to the bottom side of the camera piece with servo mounting tape. A simple pushrod connects to the base with a z bend at the servo end, and a 90º bend at the base with a wheel collar inside between the base and camera piece to hold it in place. There are little "loops" on the base for securing wiring with small zip-ties. The tilt axis uses two M3 screws to tilt on. I like using screws with a tapered head here so they center in the holes with minimum friction for a smooth tilt action with no slop. The base has holes to match a spare servo wheel I had on hand from some old R/C car kit, but should be easy to mount to just about any standard servo wheel which are readily available in both 23T and 25T splines. The old version of this servo like I have is 23T, current ones are 25T. It should be real easy to remix this to fit other FPV cams if you don't want to use the micro size. I may upload another file later with a thicker mounting pad on top to use the metal brackets that come with most FPV cams to make it more versatile. For mounting the Gitup F1 HD camera, the cradle is sized so it's a tight fit after applying a 1mm layer of sticky backed neoprene foam which should be readily available at most craft stores. I got mine on Amazon for a few bucks. This makes for a nice tight fit and keeps the camera from getting scratched up in the mount. There's lugs for a rubberband over the back of the camera for added piece of mind. All the camera's controls, USB port, and card slot are accessible while in the mount, as is the screen.

Update April 24th 2018: I uploaded another STL for the camera piece without brackets for a separate FPV camera on top. (camera_no_brackets.stl) I also confirmed than a RunCam HD 2 will fit into the mount just fine, although it's a little narrower than the Gitup F1 so you'll need to double up on the foam sheets on side of the camera if you want a snug fit. See my reply to "dp106" in the comments for pictures.
