Can I attach this camera to the bottom of mavic 2?

Kstarestrella · Jul 15, 2019

I saw the Osmo Action Cam case that I liked on YouTube, I was wondering if there is a way I can attach it to the bottom of the Mavic 2 instead of the top. Haven't found anything like an adapter. Thank you.

You can start here for the mount, then search for the Osmo case. I didn't find the latter w/a quick search.

Or search for an GoPro adapter to the above mount.

I totally forgot about shapeways, wow I didn't think of them. Both a part from them years ago for a smartwatch. Thank you.

I can't figure out how it attaches to the bottom of the mavic? Some "clips" that grab a part of the Mavic unbody?

The mount clamps securely onto the forward underside reinforcement area.

I haven't flown the bottom mount yet as I've been using the top mount for inspection work and capturing look downs of the quad overflying areas with an Insta 360 One X.

Thanks for posting the picture.

There is a video of it on the shapeways website. Looks very secure to me.

This might be a dumb question...but... WHY? This seems like it would be impossible to land (without risky hand catching)... and could throw off the weight of the drone enough to cause stability issues, especially in turbulent conditions?

Not to mention interference with the sensors.

I deactivate ALL the sensors when using a bottom mount and rarely run w/the other proximity sensors anytime. Either don't need them or they prevent smooth operation in close proximity work.

I hand launch much of the time to keep sensors & cooling intakes clear of dust or debris when not using a ground mat. I've flown with the top mount aggressively w/o problem, but yes it is slightly different. The bottom mount should be better than the top. As to why- that's the only way to get an after market camera capability on your drone. For me, it's a 360 camera.
