jDrones News: MultiMount for multicopters.

We are proud to reveal another exciting new product from jDrones. We have been working hard and long with this new product and now finally it is available to all people who need highend mounts for their multicopter needs.

Mount has been designed to use with several widely used arm types. It can be used with round tubes of 10mm and 12mm of diameter. Is also fits on all 10, 12, 15mm square tubes.

Mount have rubber cushions that will make your motors run smoothly and silently. All normal motors that have so called X mount adapter (40mm end-to-end) fits on this mount. First you mount your motor on it's adapter and then adapter mounts on top of MultiMount cushions.

You can also use it on coaxial setups as shown in following picture

For technojunkies we have cool looking installation manual (thanks to Max Levine). Manual that is really clean and easy to follow, it just cannot get any simpler than this.

Alex, Check out AC2830-358 Accessory Bag on store. X adapters are included on that bag. But yeah square plate would do the trick too.

so , additional 17, or - with the motor adapter, ~20 gram per motor -  - 80 or 120 grams on quad/hexa..

First, Big thanks to Jani for making my idea come to life :) It lots of 3D printing and DHL-ing of prototypes around half a globe :) 

Now, if you want to use them on 13X13mm for example, just put some shrink tube on the end of the arm to bring is closer to 15X15mm. Also they will fit nice on 16mm round tube, but don't squeeze it to hard or add some support inside the tube.

Simonk's firmware ESC and Multi-Mounts will make your copter real stealth uav, I can't hear my quad 5 meters away :)   

@Andke but you also adding more motors :)

MultiMounts on 10X10mm sq.tubes on my GoProCopter :)

The rubber cushions are a brilliant idea, for those of us striving for stable video. I'll be ordering a few of these to see if I can adapt them for my MK frames. Well done!

Any plans for a vibration-reducing load rail setup? Something like the Droidworx or xAircraft load rails, but with Moongel (or other superior gel) grommets? I've adapted both those load rail setups for other multicopter frames, so its not hard to design a generic one.

any chance for finding them in 3d robotics store later ?

Congratulations Max and Jani! From the conception to the high quality production.

You know that I loved this design since I saw your 3D concept by the first time. I need to say that I got even more impressed by handling it here. It's just the best! ;)

@max,  where can i get the yaw setup on the tri pictured?

Comment by Marc Puig Pasarrius on June 4, 2012 at 3:12pm

I've designed something similar, but I can't assure it reduces vibrations:

Which grommet have you used? I use these grommets (VG-1).

Comment by Alex Lee on June 4, 2012 at 3:39pm

thanks Jani, i'll do that. I do need the prop adapters also as they bend quite easily as well so the bag shoul do me great.

Comment by Cliff-E on June 4, 2012 at 7:20pm

I like the incorporation of grommets.

 

And it looks familar here too :)

(yes, those are "loose" rubber dampeners for now...)
