Tested out some new 3D printed hardware on my USV, An enclosure for my FPV camera and a mount for my action cam.

Looks really cool @Anthony_Pirotta_1! 😃

What kind of range do you get with the wireless comms?

Also, interesting sculpture (and photographer position) in the controller photo camera view 😛

I’m using an XBee module for communication and on the book it says that the range is 3.2km line of sight (But I don’t think you will actually get that) And the sculpture is a really weird vase 😉

Here is more detail on the project on my Hackaday page

Fair enough, cool! 🙂

Haha, alright - I imagine putting flowers in that might be a struggle, but it looks cool by itself so 🤷‍♂️

Nice! I’m sure those stls and the component list will be useful to others - kind of you to share them 🙂  
Also fun to see the various videos - certainly looks like a zippy vehicle, some of those fast turns are rather sharp, glad I’m not _on_ that boat… 😛
