Yet another battery holder for the awesome HeadPlay FPV Goggles.
The idea came to me when I had some issues with the battery and the supplied velcro, I felt that it could easily be improved. Especially with the GoPro mount available. I thought that there must already be some kind of solutions available on Thingiverse and there was

I liked them but I thought they were not fully using the potential of the GoPro mount. After a few prototypes I came up with this quite simple solution.
When the battery is placed in the battery holder it can be securely folded against the backplate of the straps. Tighten the bolt firmly but not to hard and you will be able to open and close without adjusting the bolt.
You can print it with any resolution and infill, but I recommend that you have at least 40% or more infill otherwise there is a slight risk that it breaks when removing the battery(if you have tightened the bolt too much).
The file is available for you to download and print here.
Please give it a go and let me know what you think!
If you don't have access to a 3D printer, the chances are that there is a Makerspace or Fablab somewhere near you and I am sure that they can help you print the holder. I can print you one for a small fee if you would like.
Any suggestions or for a updated version don't hesitate to contact me. You can get in contact with be by emailing me at jocke@nigobo.net.
