I thought I would share my DIY Monitor mount I made to attach my FPV Monitor to my Phantom Radio. Fortunately the hobby stores near me didn't have any mounting brackets in stock so I came up with this concept. I'm glad I did because it is totally configurable and requires not tools to change or adjust. First off, YOU NEED TO HAVE A MONITOR THAT HAS A TRIPOD THREAD ON THE BOTTOM. If you are like me, you have a GoPro and probably quite a few mounts. The 2 pieces you might not have are the GoPro tripod adapter and a 1/4-20 x 1/2" long set screw. Other then that, you need One Flat Adhesive mount, One Quick Release Buckle and a 3 Way Pivot Arm. You will need to cut off the end ear (the one with the nut) on the 3 way pivot arm portion that you choose to attach to the tripod adapter. I put some Loc-Tite on the 1/4-20 screw thread that goes into the tripod adapter.

Everything can be disassembled for easy transport and all you are left with on your radio is the Flat Adesive Mount.

Nice job!

That looks like a Boscam RC-LCD5802 monitor. I'm thinking about getting one. How do you like it? Any comments about it would be appreciated. What are the pros and cons?
 
Thanks..

So far I like the monitor. It's bright enough to see in the daylight. I can get around 2 hours on a full charge. And it's pretty lite.

A couple more questions if you don't mind. What antennas are you using? What range are you getting?

I have a Boscam TS832 Tx I'll be using.

I haven't done any distance flying yet. I have been dealing with getting my gain settings dialed in. The copter has been apart while i have been re mounting the iosd and installing new landing skids. It's also been raining. I did put on a set of Blue Beam Ultra Antennas for the FPV tx and rx and those worked better than the ones that came with my TS832 and Monitor
 
What a great idea I have the mount that is attached to the handle causing a problem when buying a case. You just solved that problem. Thanks for posting keep up the good work.
 
Looks great nice idea
