Camera Mounting Plate
Flight Camera
The Vortex flight camera is suspended from a dampened carbon fiber plate. This reduces the
amount of Jello due to unbalanced (or slightly damaged) props.
The camera mount itself allows a
tilt of up to ~45 degrees,
compensating for frame tilt due to
high speed racing.
NOTE: The camera pivot point is
intentionally tiltable without tools.
Because of this, it may move after
the occasional ‘hard landing’, and
should be checked before the next
launch.
The Vortex frame was designed for the family of FatShark cameras with lightweight plastic
cases, from the 600, and 700 TVL CMOS cameras, through to the 900 line CCD.
The Vortex is shipped with the 600 line CMOS installed (certain quads may be shipped with
the slightly improved 700 line version).
The plastic pins and circlips installed into each of the dampers are important, and prevent the
camera mounting plate from being separated from the frame in a crash.
NOTE :It is important that all four of these pins are installed before every flight. Flying with
fewer pins installed may result in damage in a crash.
NOTE :A good upgrade for the 700TVL CMOS is the HS1177 CCD, available from various
online retailers. This camera will fit in the standard camera mounting bracket.
