The pods for Krieger and Mixuko are cool but they're afterthoughts, add-on's to existing designs, and as such there are compromises involved. And you know that doesn't sit well with me...

I wanted to design a pod frame from the ground up, a 4mm monoplate like Mixuko but with mounting points farther away from the FC so the pod design isn't so tortured. It would be even more aero if the pod shielded the battery as well, so the pod grew to be more of an H quad body. I've already explored this configuration for super secret Solidworks project #1, so I knew that I need to start with a 220mm footprint.

I drew up half a quad to start. The basic shape is a loft between the fpv cam hole and a teardrop shape that covers a 1300 battery. Most pivoting cam designs have a slot in the pod for angle changes, but I thought it'd be aerodynamically cleaner to lock the lens and rotate the cam, so I drew a 15mm hole for the lens and three mounting holes for the cam at 38, 45, and 52 degrees.
