SM GPS Logger - Stand-Alone Modification

In this video I will show you how I made a stand-alone modification of my SM GPS Logger 3 from SM-Modellbau. The GPS Logger 3 is used for RC models and normally intended to be connected and powered by the telemetry port of the receiver. However I had the need to use it in a stand-alone mode powered by a small 1 cell LiPo battery. The video will show you in detail how I made this modification.
The list of all used material and a link to my free STL files for the 3d printed cases is provided below.

Links to the free STL files:

Print settings for both cases:
Layer Height: 0.2mm
Infill: 20%
Supports: On

Note: If your case will be exposed to sunlight I recommend using white filament. Dark filament (especially black) will heat up a lot in direct sunlight and warp the part (main risk is for the cover of the case)

Material list:

- Servo wire 0.14mm2 (AWG25)
- Shrinking tube diam. 1.5mm to 0.5mm
- Shrinking tube diam. 3.0mm to 1.5mm
- Velcro tape (width 20mm)

Camera:
Sony HDR-CX730

Microphone:
Rode NTUSB

LOL. It's always a joy watching your very meticulous and precise (ie - very German! 😉) builds and contrasting them with our chainsaw and axe constructions. 😱😊
Oh, but to get 1 over on you 😈- at about 9.05 you (incorrectly?) give the power consumption for this excellent unit as 60 milliAmp Hours - should be 60 milliAmps? 😉
The specs seem to say that the GPS logger will run down to 3.6v so that makes your limiting of usage time to 2-3 hours out of a 600mah battery fairly conservative - though probably wise considering that those are Chinese mahs. 😜😁
Another thumbs up video!

If my plane goes down will I be able to use this gps unit to find it?

Moin, super Video. Der Logger 3 ist wirklich ein super Teil. Leider noch nichts fürs GPS Triangel fliegen.
PS. Warum hatte ich deinen Kanal eigentlich nicht nicht abonniert??? 😮😮😮
Naja, besser spät als nie 😀

Spends more on a GPS unit than the airplane.
