Belt Holster for USB Power Supply

lemmy.ca English

My FPV goggles have no internal battery, they need to be run off a 2s-8s LiPo or 5v from a USB port. This lets me use a reasonably safe power supply instead of strapping a raw lipo to my body.

                When I’m wearing goggles, a talking RG radio on a neck strap and flying a 20gram drone through my yard, it was never in danger xD https://imgur.com/gallery/i-miss-summer-3jgxHNL#QuFy3Aw

                                          As @[email protected] mentioned, a helix is one way, but if you want to make it easy, just go to the Addon Manager and install the Fasteners Workbench.

                                      Next iteration: flame-activated, spring-powered emergency eject system. Thinking of that Chinese EV that responds to thermal runaway by trying to take out bystanders with burning batteries. No witnesses, no embarrassing news story.

I was thinking of something that could clip to the shoulder straps (or I guess this existing design could be adapted for MOLLE-style rigging as well with a simple measurement).
