Product Description

This GPS Mount Bracket is engineered for pilots who need a reliable, vibration-resistant platform for their navigation hardware. The 16cm height is specifically chosen to clear most battery and frame obstructions, placing the GPS in "clean air." The folding mechanism is designed for convenience; you can collapse the antenna mast without any tools, allowing the drone to fit into standard carrying cases without removing the delicate GPS module.

Key Features

  • Interference Reduction: Elevates sensitive sensors away from high-current power lines and ESCs, ensuring stable loiter and return-to-launch (RTL) performance.

  • Precision CNC Build: Made from high-quality aluminum with CNC manufacturing, ensuring a perfect fit and professional aesthetic for your build.

  • Universal Compatibility: While labeled for APM2.6, the mounting plate features adjustable slots that accommodate almost all standard GPS modules (like the Neo-6M, 7M, or M8N).

  • Tool-Free Folding: A simple friction-lock or screw-knob allows the mast to fold 90 degrees, making it backpack-friendly for field trips.

  • Rugged Durability: The combination of carbon fiber rods and aluminum bases provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, preventing the mast from wobbling during high-speed maneuvers.

Technical Details

  • Base Mount: Standard 4-hole pattern for easy attachment to frame top plates.

  • Finish: Anodized Black/Silver (varies by batch).

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Orientation Matters: When mounting your GPS/Compass module to this bracket, ensure the Arrow on the module points toward the front of the drone. Any misalignment will cause the drone to "toilet bowl" (circle uncontrollably) during a hover.

  • Thread-Lock is Key: Drone vibrations are notorious for loosening small screws. Use a tiny drop of Blue Thread-locker on the base screws that attach this mount to your frame to prevent it from coming loose mid-flight.

  • Cable Routing: Use small zip-ties to secure the GPS cable along the carbon fiber rod. Leave a small "service loop" (extra slack) at the folding joint so the wires don't stretch or snap when you fold the mount down for storage.

  • Interference Testing: After installation, perform a Compass Calibration in your ground station software (like Mission Planner). The "Compass Offsets" should be significantly lower with this mount than if the module were placed directly on the frame.

Package Includes

  • 1 x APM2.6 MWC GPS Compass Folding Antenna Holder Set

  • 1 x Mounting Hardware Kit (Screws and Washers)

Disclaimer

Always ensure the folding mechanism is securely locked before takeoff. A loose mast can lean during flight, causing the flight controller to receive incorrect compass data.
