did a lot of rapid prototyping between yesterday night and today to turn all the accessories for the FPV camera gadget I built around this time last year into a fully wearable kit / functional cybergoth-y outfit.

this has been a lot of learning and playing around with the MOLLE / PALS webbing system. There's a bunch of different ways things can be designed to go together here and I'm still getting my head around how to design for it but it's quite fun.

The dual 9V battery holder is working great (first time printing ASA as well, seems like an ideal material for these) and although the LED badge holder had a design flaw it turns out just cutting it in half made it perfectly usable and secure 😁

The FPV display is *okay* as it is right now but requires removing the back panel by removing screws (which requires bending the carrier to access), which is very unelegant. I would've liked to use MOLLE sticks here but I didn't find a nice way to get printable loops in the right spot or attach fabric straps without interfering with the internals for now...

todo for tomorrow is making two bases (MOLLE loop and wrist strap) for the new camera gadget design, which now features a sliding dovetail attachment to easily move the electronics between different bases.

it's all really *on there*, it might weigh a bit but no worries about things coming loose dancing at all
@s_ol it looks awesome, what does it do?

@jonbro
the camera is powered by a 9V battery and you can put it on your hand or in some random spot. It sends oldschool analog NTSC video via FM radio and you can see that on the LCD screen or using FPV goggles (that I'm wearing like pushed-up or turned backwards sunglasses as part of the oufit). When you're wearing the glasses a lot of things become fun little games about perspective, like doing things in 3rd person

@s_ol woah, hell yes. I love the second screen on the chest to make it multiplayer.

Are there cameras with integrated vtx, or did you hack something together there?

@s_ol oh I see the transmitter board. Very cool setup!
