TBS Caipirinha 2 GoPro HERO mount (for Hero 5/6/7)
Description
Hey, fellow FPV Pilot, Fixed-Wing and Long Range addict ! If you are here, you have probably been asking yourself: " And what if I put my GoPro Hero 7 on my TBS Caipirinha 2 ?". Don't hesitate more, do it ! The TBS Caipirinha 2 is, as every flying wing, not as stable as a miniquad in-flight. The GoPro Session 5 footage you can get from her is always shaky and not easy to watch (even with the stabilization enabled). It's so frustrating to be able to fly to the moon with this incredible wing, but not to show any decent footage to your friends, or to the community ! The GoPro Hero 7 is THE solution: with "Hypersmooth" stabilization enabled, it converts your TBS Caipirinha 2 in a perfect Cinematic Long-Range tool that you will love. But the GoPro Hero 7 can't be installed easily on the TBS Caipirinha. There are actually two ways to do it: 1) The first one is to use the skin protection (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3653292), which allows you to keep the GoPro SESSION capability. 2) The second one is to use this GoPro HERO 5/6/7 mount, which is way more convenient, tough and reliable if you are not willing to use the GoPro SESSION anymore. It's a true GoPro TPU mount, bonded on the Caipi ! Both designs have been tested and have proven to be reliable and crash-resistant. If you have to select one, the only question you want to ask yourself is: "Do I care about loosing the SESSION5 ability ?" If the answer is yes, choose the skin protection. If not, choose this design. In order to use this GoPro mount, you'll need to cut a part of your wing structure which won't be used anymore. Please refer to the pictures to see how to cut your wing. The TPU mount has to be bonded to the wing with a flexible glue (UHU Por, UHU Creativ, HK Foam Cure, etc.). It is important that the bonding joint keeps the assembly flexible, it will maintain the optimal toughness of the structure. Don't forget to wipe the bonding surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or something equivalent, before the bonding operation. Now, show me your Hero7-equipped Caipirinha 's flights on Youtube ! Happy flying !
