The camera is a Fat Shark camera that I removed from it's housing that's why you can't find it. It's the one in the grey case that can hold a memory card. I have to check out which direction is up on the camera then I'll Bondo it in place to fill in the gaps then the only thing you will see will be the shine of the camera lens, hope to do that this weekend. I'm going to have to start making his body next I think a hunch back type posture will be effective. | ||

If the other one is still too hot then I will have to come up with a means to cool it, heat exchanger or fan I'm not sure how I can do it. I'm not really fussy about using a fan for fear that it can cause his cape to flutter or be sucked against something when it should be hanging loose. Here is a picture of my Fat Shark camera gear without the goggles in the picture. | ||

After an hour I checked the heat of both the camera and transmitter and found them warm but not too hot so I have my answer as far as needing cooling goes, the less I have to put under his cape the better! | ||

Mounted the camera then filled in the gap above the camera with wood putty now I have to wait for the putty to set before I can make the workings for his neck which should be fun.     | ||
