Vector mount for RC DRIFT

thingiverse

Vector mount is a dynamic mount designed to track the action camera's (Gopro3) motion, ensuring it always faces the direction of the moving vehicle. This type of mount is commonly used in real drifting events like Formula Drift or D1 Grand Prix. My design is a lightweight mini version specifically created for RC drifting. The base tripod features a unique design that allows you to attach neodymium magnets, enabling you to easily mount it to an RC car's roof without the need for screws or double-sided tape. Simply place the magnets inside your bodyshell and the tripod will stay securely in place. Update: I've made some improvements to my design: * Added an inner magnet holder that goes inside the body shell, allowing you to secure the magnets with double-sided tape or screws. * Included a rotation stopper to prevent over-rotation (the red component on the picture). To assemble your vector mount, you will need the following components: * 1 piece of ball-bearing (8x22x7) - similar to those used in skateboard bearings * 6 pieces of neodymium magnets (max 15mm) * 1 M3x8 flathead screw * 6 M3x10 flathead screws * 6 M3 locknuts You can view a test video showcasing the vector mount's performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmXJRylzJqE.
