GoPro Session mount for Reelsteady Go (Donut 3 inch cinewhoop frame)

thingiverse

This GoPro Session mount is engineered specifically for the Donut Cinewhoop frame to capture footage that's perfect for Reelsteady Go. It effectively dampens high-frequency vibrations, preventing them from interfering with the GoPro's gyroscope so Reelsteady can handle it seamlessly. The design is extremely lightweight, allowing you to save a few extra grams and either improve flight performance or carry a larger battery. This mount absolutely requires flexible filament to print! I used SainSmart TPU with Shore hardness of 95 A. Printing slightly lower than that should also work, but I strongly advise against going higher. The mount provides minimal protection for the GoPro, so it's essential to use a hardened glass lens protector. **Usage:** Pay close attention to orientation when mounting it on the frame; it should be upside down compared to how you print it. Avoid overtightening the screws - stop immediately if the base starts deforming around them. Getting the GoPro in might take a few attempts, but here's how you do it: push the back lower part of the camera into the back brace of the mount and then slide your fingers along the brace upwards, gradually pulling the mount onto the rubber part of the camera body. Pull it far enough so the mount is fully situated on the rubber part of the camera body, as shown in the side photos. Repeat with the front brace. Adjust your FPV camera angle to visually match the GoPro's. You're ready to go! There are two versions of the mount: "low" and "high". The "low" version is ideal for indoors and slower proximity filming, while the "high" version is perfect for capturing faster cruising footage. The mounts are clearly marked on the front brace so you can distinguish between the two. Camera angle for the "low" version: about 10 degrees Camera angle for the "high" version: about 15 degrees Weight: 5.5 grams This video was taken with the "low" mount: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ft73zsMLBZ8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> If you print these, please consider posting a make. I love seeing things I designed out in the wild.
