  • Best way to mount your datapod?

    I know it sounds strange but i am struggling about the mounting options for my datapod.
    There are all sort of ways to mount it easy but...
    I like it clean,very easy to use and switching it easy to another heli.
    Was thinking about some sort of plastic clamp where you can click your datapod on the heli. Ask my friend with his 3d printer to make some for me.
    Taping it is also no problem but switching is difficult, velcro and a strap is easy to switch but you cant read the display...
    Are there guys who used some other options to mount it? :thumbup:

    Velcro will be fine alone as the Datapod is so light it would need some crazy forced to pull it off the Velcro

      I like to have things secured during flight...i don't want to be the first one with his datapod smashed in to pieces by the blades

        The cleanest installation is not having it on there at all once you have tuned the unit you don't need to have it on the model.

          I do read manuals...
          Just wanted to know if there are guys out there who like an easy swop too.

            I mount mine on both my helis with Maplin numberplate tape under Maplin velcro stuck to pod and heli. I throw my helis around rather violently in my flying style. Like danch mentioned it is light and with decent velcro it wont move. I use the remote adjust function so like the pod mounted for that and use the one pod to swap between different helis which is why I need a removable mounting option.

            Not had one problem at all whatsoever with it in about 60 flights on my goblin 630 and about 30 flights on my 600n dfc.

            Its worked flawlessly with the good quality mounting tape and good quality velcro.

              sorry rotorwizz I just noticed you are based in the Netherlands so my advice on maplin products probably not much use to you. My suggestion would be 3m outdoor mounting tape stuck to both heli and pod with a layer of excellent quality velcro/hook and loop tape.

              Hope this helps dude.

                Thanks :thumbup:
                Did some homework about the hook and loop from velcro...it can hold up 0.75kg per cm2...that will do the job
                Velcro is on its way

                  3M dual lock velcro is really good, you don't end up with odd bit because both sides are the same and it is very strong, I use it for every thing hold a 4cell lipo on the side of my starter, so the data pod is going no where.
