Got your fancy new gimbal but can't mount it anywhere? Print one of these!
2019-12-13 Update 3: Adding a 'backpack clip' mount for all your hiking and hyperlapse needs. Even includes two lanyard mounts for safety lines– one on each side. Prints in two small parts for optimal strength. (Trying to design for a single piece will be horifically weak along the layer lines.. strength is important here!) Glue it together with some CA glue (super glue) or epoxy.
2019-01-11 Update 2: Just got my official DJI Action Cam Mount in the mail.. I won't be using it. It's HUGE, takes over the accessory port, and makes you remove and store the phone plug somewhere (and loose it). It's also just overly beefy for this intricate camera. I'll be sticking with my design.
2019-05-16 Update 1: you know you've made it big when the thing you design is copied and apparently available on amazon.. right? If it's easier to buy it there than print it I recommend you do, it just doesn't have any cutouts so you'll have to mount it further down below the buttons. My design lets the phone adapter act as a keyway and lock it in place higher up on the body.
A few variants:
I've so far used this mount on my bicycle helmet for excellent footage up to ~25mph and on a motorcycle helmet chin-mount up far past 70mph and gotten gorgeous footage. Here's a video of motorcycle riding at night
These take ~30 minutes to print. You can easily adjust the wall thicknesses and such_ in onshape. Most of these are Designed to be printed with supports.. they pop out super easily.
Designed in onshape, easily adjust, remix, and extend the design. Here's the public page.
Held in-place two ways:
Easily removed two ways:
Please post 'em! Really! Take a cameraphone photo of your print in all its glory and show it off! Plus it really helps get this design out there to the world.
Designing stuff is fun but interacting with cool people and hearing about their adventures is better. I can generate any variation / engraving easily, message me on discord/telegram and/or leave a comment and let's make your perfect version. I only ask that you post a make!
If you'd like the CAD or STEP file too, no problem. I've already helped a bunch of great folks! Send me a ping
