I purchased this Baby Turtle v6 frame from CNC Drones because it looked like something I could use to convert my existing tinywhoops to a freestyle quad. But it did not occur to me that the camera would not fit inside the frame, because it was designed for flight controllers that have one of the corners chopped off, which allows more room for an FPV camera in front. Before purchasing this frame, the only concern I had was fitting the AIO board and Walksnail VTX in between the frame, because the standoff is only 15mm tall. As you can see, it was not a problem and I still have room to spare.
This is my custom 3D printed camera mount for nano size cameras, but I need to make more adjustments because the Walksnail camera barely fits. I had to remove the back cover off the FPV camera because it was a tad too big, so I need to move the camera forward a little more. I might make the walls of the camera mount thinner to reduce weight. This camera mount is not the prettiest looking, but it works.
Here is the update camera mount. It is extended 1mm forward so I can accommodate the rear camera cover, or you can leave it off as I did to save some weight.
As you can see here with the updated camera mount you have a higher camera angle.
I also lighten up the camera mount with thinner walls and an opening on the sides.
The final update is the battery mount. The mid-section of the battery mount is now thinner because it needs to be lower than the battery pads. You need the battery to press firmly on the foam battery pads or else it will move around in flight and can cause vibrations and oscillation. The battery mount is made specifically for 2s lipo like the RDQ 525mah 2s HV or BetaFPV 450mah 2s.
