Continuing on with our "week-end 3Dprinted goodies", today's menu is :
-A rover anti-vibration FPV camera mount, that also serves to hold the video transmitter.
-A Sony NEX5 camera mount for the XUAV Talon plane
Let's start with a Sony NEX5 camera mount to be installed in a XUAV Talon.
The mount is made to hold the camera on 4 anti-vibration balls, at a given height so the tip of the camera lens, when on, does not touch the aircraft fuselage.
The print contains three parts : bottom, pillars, top.
Here some pictures of the real thing once printed:
And with the camera in it:
Rover FPV is a blast. However it is subject to vibrations like all of our other "Ardu" vehicles. Therefore the idea of a standard 25x25 mini FPV camera anti-vibration mount:
-It holds the camera with four rubber balls
-It has a vertical video transmitter holder:
The STL files are here:

Thanks for sharing your job.
Hi william, no they are not exactly the same. The NEX7 is a bit bigger than the NEX5. However you could maybe resize the 3Dprint if needed ?
Thanks for the Rover mount designs. Great work.
Yes indeed Nick.
Mark, I have used photogrammetry for this purposes successfully before but in this case we have something better; a proper 3D scan.
Hugues, thank you for sharing you work. I believe the model was kindly shared by Ryan Fuselier in the blog post here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/xuav-talon-for-aerial-surveying...
Hi CHristiaan, thx. I know you are a Talon lover !
@Mark, Pascal, the 3D render comes from a previous diydrones blog post made by someone (can't remember who , to be honest) who had made a full submillimeter scan of the XUAV Talon.
Mark,
I guess it is Photogrammetry ! I am sure a couple of photos and good software will give you what you need.
Very Cool, I like it.
You're welcome Gary!
Fantastic Hugues, just the ticket for my favourite airframe!
