If you are using the GoPro Hero3 black as FPV camera you also know that you have to use the USB connector to get video out. As a bonus u can get audio and you can charge your camera with a 5V ubec the same time.

When mounting the camera on a small quad, in my case a LKTR250 you notice that the GoPro's are far from perfect for this use as it has the widest area facing forward and the frames are usually narrower. The USB-port on the side makes this even worse...

My LKTR250 features dirty/clean section and the flex in the rubber bobbins allow for propstrike on the USB-connector.

In my latest flight I had to do an emergency cutoff and when I took a closer look at my Quad I see big dents in the propeller indicating major impact on the USB connector and the dent matches perfectly....dang

The result is a loose USB connector...
