Need suggestions on battery connector holders

[graywoulf]

My new 5" quad needs some way of securing the battery connector during flight. The connectors and leads are too close to the props as I see it. I'm hoping that one or more of you have some suggestions. I have seen some quads with a connector mount of sorts but I don't know if those are a universal accessory or brand specific ones. Thanks for any help and here are a couple of pictures of what I am dealing with.

You can get a variety of xt60 clamps that slip over your rear standoffs that will do the job. Just need to measure the mounting hole centres to ensure you buy the right size.
I usually just use an elastic band to hold the balance lead onto the battery.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been looking around and I think I may have found what I need on Thingiverse. I have had some other ideas as well.

I was actually looking at Thingiverse yesterday as they have some really neat ideas for me to convert one of my quads to the digital platform. I don’t have access to a 3D printer so I’m assuming I can’t just buy the parts separately? May have another look on eBay later to see if some of the designers are selling their finished parts on that platform.
