So I've had the Cygnus Frame for a while, and recently rebuild it to carry a CADDX Vista. As I couldn't record on the Vista, and the in-goggle recording didn't really satisfy me, I got an Insta360 Go to record video during flights.
When I looked around I didn't find any ready-to-use mount for the frame, (I know of one other one that is available by now), so I had a look around on how to approach this.
I knew I wanted the Insta360 to stand vertically, so it was centered, as I felt that anything else looks weird. I also wanted some tpu around it, so there was a bit of rubber to protect it in crashes. So I combined the foot from JJangFPV's GoPro mount with the insta360 mount of OderWat.
The Maiden Flight of the new build ended in a pretty harsh crash, with the nylon screws holding the mount being torn off.
As I replaced those as well as some other screws in my copter with steel, I got above 250g, so I shaved off a bit of TPU from the mount by poking ducts and holes into it, carefully so I didn't ruin the structural integrity.
While rebuilding it after the crash I also switched from a D16 receiver to R9, so I needed a good place to place the R9 Immortal-T Antenna, so I used some of the saved weight to add "Ears" to the mount, which allow you to squeeze in such antenna, holding it far away from all carbon and in a position that probably won't be blocked by the battery.
The Autor of the original mount suggested 25% infill, however, I found it quite hard to get the camera out then (in fact I cut it out of the first mount I printed), so I suggest a bit less infill, using 8%.
Obviously, this should be printed in TPU or TPU-like material, anything less flexible won't work.
I've been printing this, laying on the side with Cura's Tree Support (works, is easier to get out), and with regular Support (use everywhere, just build plate won't work, lots of work of cutting the supports out, but much cleaner result)
