Onewheel GoPro Mount

thingiverse

I wanted to attach a GoPro to my Onewheel to capture unique ride shots, but struggled to find accessories that stayed put and delivered usable footage. The options available just didn't fit my needs. This mount allows you to attach your GoPro upside-down above the rail on your board, with the sensor positioned on the outer-most side and the rest of the camera inset above the rail out of the way. It comes in four variations: standard rail facing forward, standard rail angled 5 degrees off the rail, standard rail with sidekicks facing forward, and standard rail with sidekicks angled 5 degrees off the rail (sidekick versions offer an extra 3mm of vertical space). Designed to capture footage down the rail, this mount minimizes wheel-centric shots. For even less wheel in your shot, you can opt for an angled version (5 degrees off the rail) to capture more of the board's float (check out preview images and videos). With this mount, you can achieve steady and low footage without sacrificing style or compromising your ride. Foam inserts help dampen bumps and protect the rails from the mount. Since the camera is mounted upside-down, you'll need to rotate the recording orientation in the GoPro settings or in a video editor afterwards. Check out example videos below for a glimpse of what you can expect: GoPro Mount (Straight) Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s_GV2jOrVc GoPro Mount (Angled) Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUrjE2B7U_s To assemble this mount, you'll need: * The printed parts * GoPro * GoPro waterproof housing * Foam strips (sticky back or adhesive) * 4x M5 38mm countersunk bolts * 5x M5 Hexagonal nuts * 1x M5 25mm bolt Follow these steps to assemble your mount: 1. Print the parts using the recommended settings from the "Print Settings" tab. 2. Remove support material and ensure the bolts fit in the holes; if not, drill them out with an appropriate bit. 3. Press-fit nuts into the hexagonal holes; if they don't go in, use a bolt to tighten them in. 4. Apply foam to the large surface on each print where the rail will sit (refer to images for guidance). 5. Place the 4 long bolts into the mount arm and slide that over the rail (in front of or behind the axle). 6. Slide the plate on the other side of the rail with the arrow facing up; align the bolts and slowly tighten them a turn at a time until the mount is mostly rigid. 7. If there's excessive thread exposure beyond the nuts, add more foam to space it out or opt for a shorter bolt. 8. Place the GoPro in its case and slide it into the mount from underneath; insert the last bolt (the short one) to secure the camera. 9. If your tyre has rubber hair, it might hit the GoPro as it spins and create an irritating sound; these are safe to cut off since they're a byproduct of manufacturing and not used for wear indication. 10. Hit the road and share your rides with the world from your board's perspective! If you have any ideas for variations on this mount, feel free to suggest them, and I'll whip those up!
