UMX Viper FPV Camera Mount + VTX Cover

Summary

This is a lightweight FPV camera mount and VTX cover setup designed for the E-flite UMX Viper 30. It is intended for clean FPV installations where you want a simple printed camera mount and a small cover for the VTX area.

This setup is especially useful for canopy-free or modified-canopy FPV builds where the goal is to get a clearer view from the micro EDF without adding much weight.

Approximate Part Sizes

• Camera mount: 10.0 mm × 31.5 mm × 21.6 mm
• VTX cover: 18.0 mm × 15.0 mm × 3.1 mm

Print Settings

Suggested starting settings:

• Material: PLA, PLA+, PETG, or lightweight PLA
• Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm
• Walls/perimeters: 2–3
• Infill: 15–30%
• Supports: Use only if your slicer shows unsupported overhangs
• Brim: Optional, helpful for small parts
• Orientation: Use the included 3MF as a starting point

For aircraft use, keep the print as light as possible while still having enough strength to hold the camera/VTX securely.

Installation Notes

• Test-fit before gluing or taping anything permanently.
• Use lightweight double-sided tape, foam tape, hot glue, or small dabs of adhesive depending on your setup.
• Make sure the camera angle is correct before final mounting.
• Keep wiring clear of the EDF intake, fan, linkages, and control surfaces.
• Check center of gravity after installing FPV gear.
• Range-check and perform a short test flight before pushing the setup hard.
