Abstract: The goal of this endeavor is to create an action camera attachment for drones that can record excellent video while in the air. The mount will be designed to securely attach to the drone and provide a stable surface for mounting the action camera. The process will begin with a detailed examination of the limitations of existing drone camera mounts. Multiple prototypes will be developed during the design phase, with each one undergoing testing to determine the most efficient and reliable design. To ensure durability and stability, the final version will be 3D printed using high-quality materials. Once the design is finalized, the action camera attachment will be tested on various drone models to verify compatibility and stability during flight. A range of flight scenarios will be conducted to ensure the camera remains steady and captures high-quality video footage. The final report will provide a comprehensive analysis of the design process, the materials used, and the testing procedures. Additionally, recommendations for future improvements and modifications will be included to further enhance performance. Ultimately, this initiative aims to develop .a reliable and effective action camera mount tor drones, enabling users to capture high detintion video from unique aenal perspectives.

ensures clear, high-quality footage without motion blur, making it ideal for professional applications.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of action cameras and drone models. Features a universal
mounting system, enabling easy installation and removal.
The mount undergoes rigorous testing in various real-world flight conditions to assess its durability and
stab11izat1on ettect1veness. Captured tootage is analyzed to evaluate improvements in video quality and
reduction of vibrations.
The system is designed to allow future upgrades, such as modular add-ons, gimbal integration, and Alassisted
stabilization technology. Potential enhancements include adaptive stabilization features that
adjust to different flight conditions dynamically.
BACKGROUND ART
Drones have grown increasingly popular over the years due to their diverse applications, ranging from
photography to surveying and monitoring. However, one of their major limitations is the lack of a stable
platform for mounting cameras, often resulting in shaky and unstable video footage. This challenge is
particularly significant for action cameras, which are designed to capture fast-paced and dynamic scenes.
To address this issue, a specialized action camera mount for drones will be developed to provide a
secure and stable platform, minimizing vibrations and movement during flight This will result in highquality
video footage suitable for various applications, including sports and other high-energy activities.
The design process will involve analyzing the shortcomings of existing drone camera mounts and
developing multiple prototypes to test for stability and effectiveness. Once the optimal design is finalized,
it will be 3D printed using high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability. The final product will
undergo rigorous testing to confirm its compatibility and performance in flight, with recorded footage
evaluated for clarity and stability. Ultimately, this innovation will lead to the creation of a reliable and
efficient action camera mount for drones, enabling users to capture high-definition video from unique
aerial perspectives. With applications in industries such as sports, filmmaking, and beyond, this
technology has the potential to revolutionize the way fast-paced activities are recorded and experienced.
