Mobius action cam - 3D printed housing

I'm a fan of the Mobius action cam, whilst it's not as high quality as the GoPro, it's budget-conscious, and just more disposable..

You're more willing to throw it (or two) on something and do crazy things with $100 racing around, than $580 which is the GoPro Silver..

Anyway, after trying a few 3D printed chassis, this one was my favourite. Thingiverse had the first template, hats off to the designer, but the 3D printing guys I used touched it up and made the design more solid, filling in a few empty spaces.

I've broken two, but the camera lived as did its lens - very happy outcome for all.

It's only 10 degrees, but i've found it's enough given the width of the camera and the mounting adds more angle, but i'll probably adjust/increase this given my typical FPV camera angle is higher.. If someone else does this LMK.
