GoPro Cable Dolly

cults3d

Simple dolly with a GoPro-Camera mount made for use with one single rope or cable having a diameter up to 12 mm. Originally designed to be lifted by the topping lift or backstay on a sailing yacht, it can also be used on any rope or cable as long as it's not vertical or close to vertical. It will likely swing since only one cable is being used. You need to print: - 1x set of chassis (2 parts in one file); the left and right parts are different! - 2x wheel - 2x set of screw and nut Additionally, you'll need: 1x M5 nut Print the chassis with support. The overhanging part of the camera mount requires it, but a little waste is involved. The screw doesn't require support, at least not for me; it printed fine without any issues. The wheel definitely needs no support. If your M5 nut won't fit in the stl-file hole, take the scad-file and adjust the 'nutwidth' variable right at the beginning of the file to suit your needs. This dolly has already been successfully tested with a standard tripod mount adapter and a heavier camera (Lumix DMC-FT5). See picture.
