GoPro windsurfing boom mount

thingiverse

Mounting a GoPro 5 on a boom requires careful attention to detail. Place the mount as far back as possible to ensure stability and prevent damage to the boom. Avoid over-tightening the screws, as this can cause harm to the boom itself. Instead, aim for a secure yet gentle fit. Position the camera vertically towards the front of the boom, ensuring a clear view of your surroundings. For added safety, consider attaching a rope around the boom in case something unexpected happens. When capturing footage, use the superwide setting on your GoPro 5 since you'll be positioned close to the camera. This will provide an expansive view and help you capture more detail. To assemble the mount, you'll need the following components: * 2 MC6S 5x30 (M5 socket screw) * 3 M6M 5 nut (M5 nut) When it comes to choosing a material for your mount, consider using ABS or PETG. Both options offer durability and resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for mounting a GoPro 5 on a boom.
