Beta95X Anti-jello dampers

The Beta 95X from BetaFpv is a nice little whoop with DJI's digital video system using Caddx Vista.

However, BetaFpv failed both with delivering an acceptable canopy and providing jello-free video.

A better canopy design is already available here for printing with TPU: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4330877.

But still the video has jello, so I designed simple dampers for soft-mounting the whole canopy and using its mass for stabilisation.

The result is such as BetaFpv should have done prior to releasing the whoop, almost perfect now.

UPDATE FROM 12-01-2020:

I have added an even more soft damper to try out.

PRINTING:

I had problems with getting a good print when slicing with Cura. Simplify3D did a much better job in this special case.

Ensure the sliced model looks as shown in the Simplify3D screenshot.

INSTALLATION:

Although you could re-use the self-cutting canopy screws for attaching the dampers to the frame, I preferred to use metric screws and nuts instead.

• Drill the original canopy mounting holes completely through the whole frame with 1.8mm diameter. It's only few mm until the frame bottom.
• Mount the dampers to the frame by using M1.6x12 screws and washers and nuts at the bottom of the frame.
• Mount the canopy on top of the dampers using either M1.6x5 or M2x5 screws and nuts within the dampers.
