Open Top Cradle for GoPro Hero 4

thingiverse

This is by far the most intricate project I have ever designed from scratch. I had a pressing need that Most GoPro mounts have a door or screw you must remove to access the camera, which often requires disassembling the entire rig just to retrieve footage or replace the battery. This design solves that issue; I was inspired by Devin's similar project for an older GoPro model. With no top or door, the GoPro can be easily lifted out of the rig and placed back in at will! Additionally, if you have a permanent setup on your 3D printer for time-lapse photography, your shots will always maintain a consistent look. This design also keeps the back open to access the screen on the Hero 4 Silver model and the side open to access the micro SD card and camera connections without removal. I am extremely proud of this creation, and if you decide to make one, I would greatly appreciate it if you posted a picture in the "I made one!" tab.
