Turbowing CYCLOPS 3 Mount for EMAX Tinyhawk
Description
This is a pretty ghetto CYCLOPS 3 mount for the EMAX Tinyhawk. I wanted it to be light and removable, but I was also in a bit of a rush to test it. It works surprisingly well, all things considered. [Here's a video of it in action](https://youtu.be/5p3kHL4EITg). [Here's another before I changed the lens](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-kFSb7MmYY). [The CYCLOPS 3 is a insanely small 720p camera](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GKm3hr6v3G). It writes out 720p videos to an SD card on the back, but can also output regular analog video (though with a lot of lag, apparently). I can also highly recommend replacing the stock lens with an [M7 1.8mm lens](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/3GKKYJ6De8) instead. The camera fits super snuggly into the mount, though you may have to insert the SD card after putting it in, rather than before. The bottom half is slightly undersized so it grips onto the frame. The whole thing is then secured on with a bit of blu-tac and a big elastic band. I removed the analog video cable from the camera, and soldered on a female JST-PH connector. I then soldered a male JST-PH onto the 5V pads on the board --- I tried VBAT originally but the camera kept dying due to brownouts.
