Finally for sale!
This is a significant milestone, as we are now able to provide the community with this camera cage and setup. This will allow the DJI FPV community to finally fly their DJI FPV drone using almost any 6s LiPo battery!
And now to be able to sell in different colors
Some small but import design changes were made from the original design
The inner wall was removed to save weight and a top plate was created with slots to hold the BMN board.

In September, I bought my first 3D printer, the Bambu Lab P1S. This allowed me to create multiple iterations of prototypes, ultimately refining them into the final product showcased here.
At the time of posting this we sell in 3 colors, black, Olive green, and Lime Green
Just one single printing session!

We decided to use brass inserts because self-tapping screws stripped out far too easily. This choice not only provided a better fit but also made installation easier, even if it meant working with tweezers.
The brass inserts and screws listed below took several weeks to arrive, and figuring out the optimal length of the hardware required a lot of trial and error.
M1 Stainless Steel Phillips Screws.
While I would have preferred a different type than Phillips, that was the only option available in that size.
M1 Brass Knurled Insert Nuts
Installing these required a great deal of patience, as they could only be handled using fine tweezers. Since no headers are available for such tiny brass inserts, I had to come up with an improvised method. Through a process of trial and error, I learned how to master the installation technique with a fine-tip soldering iron, carefully adjusting the temperature to avoid damaging the plastic while ensuring it was low enough to gently melt only the material needed to properly seat the inserts.
