3D model description

This is small camera (HS1177 600TVL from surveilzone and similar) holder + LED's in front for DL180 mini-quad: http://www.surveilzone.com/RC-DL180-Full-Carbon-Fiber-Power-Quad-Frame-for-FPV-Racing-g-1454
Full height version - using "stock" standoffs - more angle for camera, easier assembly, but more weight and worse air penetration. For low profile version see here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1263641
Also modified rear mount - so more space at rear, included xiaomi mount.
LED used in front: http://www.banggood.com/1_8W-12led-COB-LED-Chip-130mA-WhiteWarm-White-For-DIY-DC-12V-p-957669.html
They are connected via adjustable step-down converter @10V - this way they use ~4W in total and do not overheat (at 12V they are incredibly bright, but will melt PLA in ~15s idle @ room temperature, not in flight). Bright enough for night flying.
Rear LED is this one: http://www.banggood.com/6W-6000K-COB-LED-C5W-Festoon-Bulb-No-Error-Number-License-Plate-Light-White-p-1000754.html - unsoldered bridge and it fits nicely, powered from the same SMPS as front LED's.
Front LED's are bright enough for low and slow night flying. At extreme angles may require some aditional hood on lens, but at 0 degree (slow flying) it works out of the box.
Rear mount also holds OpenLRS MicroRX (there's perfect hole for SMA connector) and has cut-out for power wires.
Xiaomi holder fits on "stock" standoffs, you probably will need slightly longer bolts, ziptie is added as "failsafe" in case mount breaks up. Can fit gopro4 too (gopro3 should fit too), but then it has ~1mm slop on sides.
Flight tested, mud tested :D

FPV camera angle is adjustable up to ~55Β°. Xiaomi mount is 24Β° - works OK with 1600x1200 video (and non-linear stretch to 1080p in postprocessing), but if you want to film race in 1080p - probably will require more (something like 30Β°).

Weights (approx):
- xiaomi mount 10g
- front holder 7g
- rear holder 8g
