Hello everyone,
I just wanted to show off what I've been working on lately for the techpod. Is a mechanism to at automatic doors to the camera bay of the techpod. This will allow people to mount a camera in the belly of the techpod and gather unobstructed vertical photos and still keep the camera protected during landings etc.

Nice picture, Wayne :)
I still not understand how it works :)))
Sorry
@felix
it can fit but you would have to mount the camera lengthwise. getting the viewing angle for the wide angle lens is difficult. this is a cross section view
the doors have more room to swing wider if needed. a change to the crank wheel can take care of it.
here is a shot of it with a clear fuselage. I would need to modify the bay area slightly but that is easy with 3d printed parts.
thanks guys. It uses a retract servo so it uses no power to stay up or down. I 3D printed the plastic parts on a replicator dual. I can post some drawings in the morning.
@Felix
look for a PM from me.
now thats cool, very impressed
Very nice Wayne.
@wayne - thank you very much
I would be using a Sony Nex 5n with a 16mm lens (SEL16F28). And I would be interested if there would be some space left around the camera allowing me to build a camera mount compensating roll ...
Dear Wayne. :)))
May be few photos of kinematic? Very interesting.
@felix,
probably, which exact model and lens will you be using? I can make up a quick cad model to see how it would fit.
very nice! Can I fit a Sony Nex 5 in the Techpod?
Now this is what we have been waiting for!
