I did find the individual clips, but they were still rather pricey in my opinion.

I bought some Fotga DP500 Dslr rail system quick release clamps for £15 and made my own. The 15 mm rails arn';t compatible with the normal 10 or 12mm stuff that multirotors seem to use but hey ho.

Alternatively you can get the slightly cheaper non quick release version (see below) and just slide your rails along through the holes. It takes me 20 seconds to remove the landing gear and under slung battery when i need to fit the Hex into the boot of my car. Jobs a good ';un


Edit: Part number added

E bay item = 281120981067 for the cheaper version.
Imagine a pair of these on your main frame plate underside and a pair on the top side of whatever you need to suspend. Slide the rails along and clamp down

I like your thinking Des. Thanks for the info.
