PicklePod2 introduction

The PicklePod2 is made for Toothpick style micro quadcopters and comes in different variants. it's designed to be printed in TPU.

You can use this on frames such as the [Pickle], [Kabab's TP3], [RacerX TWIG] and virtually any setup that relies on an AIO flight controller.

Specs & infos

Starting from a very basic & light one to a full featured with all sorts of antenna mounts (crossfire, 2.4Ghz, vtx).

It is a redesign of my [OG Pickle Canopy] with the following goals in mind

* wider, taller and thicker (1.3mm) to be more adapted to 3 inch setups
* 2 camera hole sets (short long lens cam)
* wire cutouts on the sides
* a slot in the nose allows to use a small nut

The canopy is compatible with most of (all) nano 14x14mm cameras with screw mounts, 
eg : Caddx EOS2, Runcam Nano 2, Runcam Nano Racer, Foxeer Predator nano, Nano HD cams as well, etc.

To use it simply stick it on the top of the screws holding the 26 mm x 26 mm FC
board(s). No nuts needed, it's a press fit design and yes it even fits the Diatone GTB/Cube micros :)

Note : This design is made with the Toothpick/micro quad community and uses a lot of feedbacks from people as David Pearce, FaebuFPV, Reinhard Plietsch, Joël Jonke, etc. that i'd like to thank a lot for the time and dedication spent to make this pod way better.

Here are the different versions :

• BASIC : the simplest and lightest version (2g approx.)
• CRSF : Small ears with holes to pass a crossfire trimmed antenna (called also a Faebu Mount ;) ). It should work also with Ghost, Tracer or other tiny “T” shaped antennas 
• 24G : 2 side tubes to pass 2.4GHz antennas and use small RC tubes to hold them up.
• VTX : crossfire or 2.4G + vtx mount
• FULL : have all the mounting options (antennas, vtx). Obviously the heaviest version
