Yi Discovery Camera - belt / bag mount

thingiverse

I recently picked up a YI Discovery camera and was eager to print a suitable, low-profile mount for the camera. Specifically designed for wearing on the shoulder strap of a backpack to capture video and time-lapse footage while I'm on holiday. I didn't want anything too intrusive or bulky so I found mcarne's original file for a compatible camera mount for a Yi Discovery camera (GoPro compatible). I took that file and modified it by adding strengthening bars to the sides and top, as well as a simple clip at the rear of the camera. When the camera is fitted, it can be worn in either orientation on a bag, pocket, or affixed to a belt. I retained the original advantages of the design; the button and microphone are still accessible, and the camera can be charged while in the clip. I’ve printed in PLA and found that with 100% infill there’s sufficient flexibility and strength for the mount. I modified the design using TINKERCAD.
