I wanted to have a mount for my small camera and also needed a way to attach it to my planes. I didn't want to have it right behind the prop and I had seen one mounted on the vertical stabilizer. I had an idea for a mount using popsicle sticks. I cut two pieces 1" long to go on either side of the foam and cut another at 30mm for the camera to sit on. I measured 5mm from each side and cut 4 notches with my hobby saw to a depth of about 2mm. I then used my xacto knife to cut at a 45 deg angle forming a 'V' shaped notch at each point. I hot glued the base to the other two pieces and will drill 3 holes to accommodate different mounting positions. The camera is held in place with a thin 3/4" rubber band. I will need to extend the power wires so they can go into the fuselage and connect to the 600mAh battery. I feel the hot glue is sufficient to hold the camera and is just right to detach if a c...when a crash happens.
