Once again I have modified the left front leg mount to kick it out to the left a bit more: see m2-lft-frnt-3hole.stl. This replaces phan-mnt-m2-5deg-left-front.stl. The latter will still work for some, but I recommend using the newer one. Photos and video to follow.
I added a new left front mount strut mount. Just one is used at the left front motor. It puts the strut mount and foot out of the frame on the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, so should work for the Vision.
It will probably work with a Zen Muse, but I do not have one to test.
If someone does make one for that, and the strut is still in the FOV with a Hero, send me a photo so i can make another modification.

It would be too confusing to put all the files in the same place.
There are two more mount designs here. The original was at 15 degrees to plumb. These two are at 5 degrees and 0 degrees.
I have not tested them yet, so cannot say if either of them are a solution. When I get a working set I will report back, or if you beat me to it, please leave info, including your camera type and setup. Some folks may fly without a camera so it really does not matter.
The compass and antenna mounts were also redesigned.
The compass strut was changed to .078" (2mm) carbon fiber tube or rod. The length is flexible. The alignment of the compass is not.
The compass flat face needs to be on the right rear pad with its face inboard, and parallel to the X (front/rear) and Z (up/dn) axes.
The four main struts are 6.87" (~175mm) which give about 2" below a Vision plus camera pointing down. You can shorten the struts if your tolerance for risk is higher than mine. The .078 (2mm) struts for the compast is about 4" and the two for the antennas are about 3".

Please leave feedback if you get it to work without intrusion of the legs into the filed of view, and what camera setup you are using.
When I get time I will print and test it and post a video and results.
