ok new guy on block with ideas

[cruzroy]

like i said, my mavic is still in box, i fly my phantom 4 for now, but im waiting on a good case for all my stuff that goes with mavic, but i pulled a battery and already starting on ideas, i made about 30 parts for the UpAir One, caz truth....it needed it, but the mavic has potential for gadgets.....360 cam, flash light....things of such


so if you guys have any ideas, i will try to design and print test, now that i have one,

ive already started on 2 Mavic Battery backpack Mounts, and i can see many things to add to this.....but ideas would be good

Interesting idea.... So this would 'clamp' over the top of the battery yeah?

yes

Mount for some sort of Strobe light would be nice. I can lose VLOS in bright sunlight and a strobe would push that range way out.

Unless you're flying at eye-level, I think you would want the mount somewhere on the bottom. If I had designing skills, I would look to make something that can clip into the two bottom rear attach points so as not to block the sensors, like some of the leg extenders do. Or maybe something that clips onto the rear legs below the LED, like that one holder for Trackimo. I like your idea of a mount with interchangeable holders though.

??? but what would you like to mount below mavic ??

Well the strobe lights for one thing. IMO they would be better on the bottom than on the top of the battery.

If you mount above where you've said, you'll likely block GPS reception - I've seen videos of a GoPro mounted where you've said and it forced the Mavic into Opti/Atti mode. I'd also be concerned that some of your suggestions could interfere with other sensors, particularly the compass.

I wish I had your design skills. I have a 3D printer, but absolutely no understanding of how to create my own models. If I did, I'd create some kind of mount that attaches to the rear pegs on the underside, that extends out a bit (so as not to interfere with the VPS or sonar) - that has a hook with a mechanically activated release. Dropping plastic easter eggs, or small water balloons when tilted beyond a certain angle...

something should be able to attach to both rear legs when open, thats away form any sensors, and mavic is kinda nose heavy

Whats the dimensions on the 2 slots that hold the battery's, they look like they could fit 2- 1500mah 3s batteries

 

[AnzacJack]

Love the innovation.

I got a SQ-8 camera off eBay for 10 bucks, cute little thing, so whipped up a mount to carry it either direction,,,still needs tweaking, but here it is

A light sensor for the LED to activate. That is brilliant.

I would love if you could design 2, 1 for 2 smaller batteries and a another for 1 big battery, I don't know if my screen shots worked but let me know, thanks.
