Unit #2: Strategy

Problem Statement

The purpose of my design is to make an inexpensive, vibration resistant action camera mount for firearms, motorsports, and drone applications.

Assumptions

The product will likely be made of a lightweight plastic through injection molding or 3D Printing. The camera holder will hold a small action camera that is roughly 38 x 38 x 36 mm an weighs about 74g. Minimal moving parts will keep costs down and minimize the mount from rattling apart. Product should be simple and easy to implement into an existing system.

Strategy: FRDPARRC table

Sketches and Calculations

Strategy 1: The camera is supported by a "loop" of material that holds it firmly, but allows good vibration and impact resistance.

Strategy 2: Possibly the best for vibration isolation, a baseplate supports bushings and a mounting plate for the camera holder.

Strategy 3: The simplest option. The camera is holder is mounted with adhesive to a soft foam block. It should work well for vibration, but may struggle with harder bumps and impacts.

Luke Sewing

-It would be really great to see your images and spreadsheets embedded into the page rather than links.

- I like the clean, simple look of your site and can tell you pay attention to detail!

Dylan Appleyard

-You can export your Gantt Chart as a PDF and link it.

-It would be cleaner to embed your FRDPARRC's as one document to more easily compare Pro's/Con's
