FEmount
FEmount is a modular mounting interface proposed as an open standard for attaching equipment such as sensors, cameras, and actuators to a variety of platforms, including drones, tripods, and laboratory benches. The term appears in open hardware and maker communities to describe a universal mounting pattern intended to improve interoperability between accessories from different manufacturers and vendors.
The design centers on a rectangular plate with a uniform grid of attachment holes and compatible fasteners.
Variants and ecosystem: There are several variants such as FEmount-Base for light loads, FEmount-Pro for medium
History and adoption: The concept emerged in open hardware discussions around the mid-2010s and was formalized
Reception and limitations: Proponents cite improved interoperability and reduced need for custom brackets, while critics point
The ongoing development of FEmount reflects broader trends in open hardware toward modularity and cross-vendor compatibility,
