My plane is at the airport. Is someone willing/in the opportunity to measure the size (opening/height of walls) of the handheld for me?
I also want to make a go pro mount but I want to include a servo and 2,4Ghz receiver so I could turn the camera during flight.

Regards, Joeri.

Mine is just about exactly 2"x5" measured on the top surface of the wing. The inboard wall is 2" and the outboard one is 1".

I'll be interested to know what you come up with servo-design wise, and how it performs.

Something like this. I need to use ball bearings like this or a shaft with ball bearings. The handheld opening is perfect for the servo, receiver and battery.

Looks pretty cool. I wonder how it will do in terms of vibration/movement in the air? Will be interesting to find out! I have been thinking through a design for inclusion on my -8A, but it's more of a "photo pod" approach with a servo.
