I've been doing a bunch of filming with my Tau2 (more to come on that) and recently I have needed to film with both the Tau2 and a GoPro with the aim of blending the video.
I set about designing a camera case which will house both the GoPro as well as the Tau2 at the same time. My goals were that it needed to be light, rigid and securely hold them.
The 3rd draft of it has worked quite well i think.
Some enhancements (printing at the moment!) will be:
- Thicker side walls
- A clip over the top to hole them in place (although the fit is so snug only a crash would dislodge them)
Honestly, there is not much more I can want with it. It does what it needs to.
I'll post an update here and on my other blog in a few days once I have printed it and given it a few test flights.
Some sample images from the first flight:

Very Cool. I there any way to use the Tau as a "picture" camera rather than a video camera? I want to do orthomaps with thermal images.
Thanks peeps. I've printed off another version, made some changes to it which should be better. Will post an update shortly.
We are developing an in-house recorder for it which will be part of the case in a future version.
I have two goals -
We have the first option working now (Video below) and the second option is almost working too.
The case is mounted to the gimbal as per normal camera. More on that to follow.

Looks really good! How are you recording the FLIR imagery?
