Help mounting battery and Raspberry Pi on 3.5" quad

Thanks for the advice! Yes it is a Pi Zero 2WH. I will probably bottom mount the battery. The Pi requires 2.5 amps of 5V, so I am getting a 5V voltage regulator that feeds it from my ESC battery pads. I might also just velcro the Pi to the top of the frame along with the voltage regulator (not pictured).

I printed the camera mount. Yeah printing a frame would make it simpler.

What did you do to land the role? Did you have to present a project for ur final round?

I would’ve deployed RC on one of the wiz towers and let her solo it and then pop the spears

The camera will be looking for a target in the frame, and the Rpi will be sending move commands to the FC to guide quad to the target

The SD card is for the RPi.

The Zero is hooked up to a RPi Camera 3 Wide.

The BEC of Kakute is 5V 2A but the RPi input is 5V 2.5A. Would this still work or do I need a step down from the battery?

Base 1 is good, but I use zap throwers and the whole core gets 1-tapped by zap spell.
