I posted this on the securitycamera 2000 thread on rcgroups, thought it might help others here as well.
I biffed my pz0420 so I had to order a 2nd. Don't want to ruin it again and I hate the metal case.
So I made my own case. Notice you will have to cut the outer section of the board. I practiced on my dead camera.
part #
drill/ream a hole with a small notch for the lens set screw, cut out hole for wire out the back, line with foam (optional)
line 2 corners with foam since there are no standoffs. snip the 2 existing standoffs ABOUT 1/2 way down, maybe a little less.
cut out outer frame from camera board, test fit.
I need to get longer screws since I cut the standoffs.
You could use hot glue or welder glue to "seal" the opening around the lens. I will mount with double sided tape or velcro on an aluminum tab on my quad.
