Description

I designed this to be used for high powered rocketry for the new Runcam 6 camera. It has a 7.5 degree viewing angle offset from the body tube to help get a better shot of the surrounding area. The cover slides on/off to easily secure the camera and I've included air vents to ensure the camera has adequate airflow in the mount. You'll need to epoxy the mount to your rocket.

Included are models for 3", 4", and BT-70 (56.3mm OD) diameter body tubes, a flat bottom version, and the slide cover. The cover will work for all models. Depending on the filament you may or may not need supports. With PLA no supports are required, but with more temperamental filaments like ASA I would suggest supports. There is a small notch on the thin side of the mount that represents the centerline of the model for alignment if desired.

Since this mount will be exposed to sunshine and strapped to a rocket I printed mine with ASA and 15% infill to be safe. This combination has worked very well for me for the couple of flights it has been on thus far.

I've also included the model I made for the Runcam 6. It's nothing fancy, but the dimensions should be close to the real deal.
