Simple Osmo Pocket GoPro Mount(s) [UPDATED]

thingiverse

Got your new gimbal but having trouble mounting it anywhere? Try printing one of these! 2019-12-13 Update 3: Adding a 'backpack clip' mount for all your hiking and hyperlapse adventures. Even includes two lanyard mounts for safety lines – one on each side. Prints in two small parts for maximum strength. (Trying to design for a single piece will be horribly weak along the layer lines... strength is crucial here!) Glue it together with some CA glue or epoxy. 2019-01-11 Update 2: Just got my official DJI Action Cam Mount in the mail, but I won't be using it. It's huge, takes over the accessory port, and makes you remove and store the phone plug somewhere (and lose it). It's also just too beefy for this intricate camera. I'll be sticking with my design. 2019-05-16 Update 1: You know you've made it big when your creation is copied and available on Amazon! If it's easier to buy than print, I recommend doing so – it just doesn't have any cutouts, so you'll have to mount it further down below the buttons. My design lets the phone adapter act as a keyway and lock it in place higher up on the body. A few variants: - **Simple Mount**: The original, flat, quick-printing version now with 3/4/5 wall widths! - **Backpack Clip Mount**: Gives you a strong friction-held clip that works great on shirts and backpacks. - **Clippy**: A two-part low-profile direct GoPro-clip design perfect for adding to the top, side, or front of a bike/motorcycle helmet. - **Lanyard**: A simple lanyard mount that should've come built-in – this one is 4-wall-width. See the separate Thing for more options. - _Osmo Pocket Angled Mount_: An angled design intended to move the GoPro connector up the body of the Osmo Pocket to slightly above its center of mass. The offset leaves it with a little give in some directions, so it's not my favorite version. I've used this mount on my bicycle helmet for excellent footage up to 25mph and on a motorcycle helmet chin-mount far past 70mph – got gorgeous footage! Here's a video of motorcycle riding at night. These take ~30 minutes to print. You can easily adjust the wall thicknesses in Onshape. Most of these are designed to be printed with supports, which pop out super easily. Designed in Onshape, easily adjust, remix, and extend the design – here's the public page. Held in-place two ways: - Tightening the GoPro bolt tightly holds around the circumference of the Osmo - The phone connector acts as a keyway to lock it in place Easily removed two ways: - Just loosening the GoPro bolt by hand lets you slide the Osmo out just by removing the phone adapter. - After fully unbolting the GoPro mount, it's so strong and flexible it can be flexed right off without removing the phone adapter. PLA works great, and PETG or Nylon would probably work even better if you're into that.
