This is an adjustable Runcam Nano 4 mount for the Nanohawk X.
I found the Nano 3 camera was pretty bad in low light conditions, and I prefer an adjustable camera. 

You will need to pull forward the stock camera mount and then cut the mount from the canopy peg - Mine fell off the peg after I cut the camera mount free so you may be able to remove it without cutting. 

You'll need to de-solder the Nano 3 and solder the Nano 4 onto the 5v, Gnd and Vin on the flight controller.

I also put some Kapton\polymide tape on the vtx board under the camera and some electrical tape on the Nano 4 to protect from shorts. The current mount allows a 1-2 mm spacing between the Nano 4 and the vtx board. Originally I designed the mount 2 mm taller and the Nano 4 was rubbing against the vtx board. The shorter mount reduced the angle a bit as the camera is pressing against the canopy more but safer and more securely attached to the canopy. 

If anyone finds they need a greater angle, please comment and I'll modify the model to be .5mm to 1mm longer which will lower the camera but I suggest no more than this as it will be touching the vtx board. 

Mount has a peg at the back that goes into the small hole in the canopy and is mounted to the camera using two M2x6 screws. It's very secure and flies well. Camera can tilt down or up depending on your preference. I tighten the screws snug so the camera doesn't move and is secured tighter to the canopy. 

Takes about 10 minutes to print at .1 mm layer height at 90 mm/s on my Kobra 2 printer. I included a screenshot of my print settings (Prusa Slicer) and print orientation that seem to work pretty well. I used organic supports for the peg.

As for the weight, the stock Nanohawk X is about 42 grams without the battery, I weighed mine with the camera mount at about 45-46 grams. The Nano 4 is 2.9 grams vs the 1.1 grams of the Nano 3.
