Gopro / Action Camera Tow Hitch Mount

thingiverse

Wanted a super affordable mount that could be installed directly into the factory tow hitch location on my vehicle. This applies specifically to a 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata but can easily work for other vehicles as well. The model was printed using a Prusa i3 Mark II with ABS material. This mount is designed so it can remain attached to the tow hitch and simply be installed in the tow location at once. First, I bought a super cheap tow hitch from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-RACING-FRONT-REAR-TOW-TOWING-HOOK-SCREW-ALUMINUM-T2-FOR-MAZDA-2-5-6-RX-8/131614455314?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Next, I purchased a nut from McMaster. Any M20 x 2.5mm x 30mm wide nut will do the job. This was done so the mount could stick out further on the vehicle and not rub against the paint during installation. https://www.mcmaster.com/#93935a365/=1cdunai You'll also need a basic nut to press fit into one side of the GoPro mount. A typical generic size is used for these mounts. I already had one lying around, but if you have a mix of small nuts at home, you probably do too. It seems pretty sturdy.
