Skyeliner GoPro Hero 5/6/7 Mount - 30 Degrees

thingiverse

I designed this Skyeliner Gopro Mount with the Hero 7 Black in mind, but it will fit other hero flavors like the Hero 6 and Hero 5. The mount is incredibly lightweight, weighing only 21 grams with 15% infill and a 0.6mm shell. To secure your GoPro, simply slide it into the back of the mount from there, which prevents premature ejections, thanks to the battery that keeps the camera in place even when strapped to a kwad. However, during testing, I discovered that hard concrete impacts can cause damage to the battery and shatter the back LCD screen protector - a frustrating issue but one that hasn't resulted in the GoPro falling out of the mount. To prevent this from happening, I use a custom 340mm strap wrapped around the Hero and through the camera plates, although this isn't ideal as bent props can cut the strap. Future revisions may include a different strap solution, but for now, I'm still testing that idea. Suggestions and revision ideas are welcome! V2 Additions: + Fillets were added to some corners where ripping tended to occur, such as around the standoff mount and at the corners where the GoPro is slipped in. +Sides of the mount were changed from an X design to a 3 square cutout design to save weight while allowing for easier mode button access Features: -21 grams -Protection on five sides (excluding the back) -Great lens protection -Snug fit, won't slip out -Re-enforced top plate screw hole mounting -Standoff + top plate screw hole mounting -No strap required (but recommended)
