DX5R Camera/Phone Mounting

[Greatscott]

I am wanting to mount my phone to my DX5R to capture video while I run, and I am looking for ideas of how to do it.

I do have some skills in Fusion 360, and a 3D printer, so I can make whatever I need, just looking for ideas from the people that have done it.

Thanks.

I glued a magnetic car mount on my Radio to use my phone as an FPV screen.
I can take pictures as well since the camera is on the left and it's not blocked.
Works pretty well and cost nothing.

I haven't done this but I like the idea of making a new battery compartment cover and incorporating the mount into it. This way you can use the camera mount or the stock one.

I'd be a bit wary of getting a magnet so close to my phone or camera, I know they can really mess up a screen. I guess you haven't had any issues though so maybe its different with modern screens.

Magnet shouldn't be a problem, literally hundreds of thousands of magnetic mounts and Wireless chargers sold for phones.

Smart idea
