GoPro platform for phone

thingiverse

I created this design because I needed a chest-mountable GoPro platform that would allow me to see and use my cellphone while flying my paramotor. The current version extends about two-thirds up the back of my Google Pixel 3, ensuring that the fingerprint sensor and camera remain usable. Additional holes were added for attaching a leash/tether in case the base breaks or something goes wrong. To mount the phone, I used 2-inch wide 3M VHB tape to attach an ultra-thin case to this design. This securely holds the case in place, preventing the phone from falling off during flight. I have tested this on numerous paramotor flights and it works perfectly. This platform is mounted to a MOLLE chest harness using my other remixed design for a MOLLE GoPro base, and a standard "curved" GoPro mount. It allows me to flip the phone up for protection during takeoff and landing, reducing the chance of flopping about or shearing off the GoPro mount.
