Mount for GoPros

Hi,

Some user (Lucian) sent me this .stl model that he made for filming with GoPros. I even think it may be compatible with other cameras given the mount, not sure.

Here are some pictures along with the .stl file.

Requires x2 M5 bolts and m5 inserts, also 1/4-20 insert on the bottom for the tripod mount. The slot is made for this powerbank: Amazon link

Here is the link to the .stl file on Google Drive.

Thanks Lucian for the design.

Looks really good!

You may want to add a way to attach a small shade or an electric fan. I had problems with my GoPro overheating on sunny days if there wasn’t much airflow.

Has anyone made a phone holder print file instead of Go Pro

When will v2 be released? I’m really looking forward to it.

@codebox I’m shipping features incrementally, so I’m not sure when I will consider v2 to be officially out. But I’m iterating fast, and it’s probably a matter of very few days.

I’ve created a few GoPro mounts for this type of stitching if anyone is interested. Currently working on a revamped version of my initial design.

Hello.

I would be interested. Got Gopro Hero 5.

This mount is designed for hero10 and up, but I’ll look into seeing if i can mod it to fit the 5s as I believe the dimensions are different.

Is there any point in having a mount that positions the lenses at the exact same relative position to the corner of the mount. Left camera is mounted normal but right camera is upside down and slightly higher?

You mean so they are in the exact same horizontal plane?

Yes kind of. If you look at Veo from the front the lenses have symmetrical placing and that is not how a gopro setup would look like. One lens wold be a little more to the right. My question is if this have any impact on the output quality.

So what you are describing is called parallax. The distance between the lenses is negligible (<10 cm) given that we are filming games where the focus is far. That would pose a problem if a player comes <1~2 meters from the camera. But it’s also the case with Veo.

Made a gopro mount for my hero 5s. One is upside down so I can position the lenses exactly mirrored. Cables are the wrong length so looks a little messy but wanted to test it before I make any permanent cable runs. Using a remote to start the at the same time. Will probably add a mount for that at the back also.

Looking forward to V2 to test it out.

Is it just me, or do the links go to nothing?

They start downloading automatically

For the iPhone rig files, it tries to open and then closes a new tab quickly. Opening in a new window is just a blank page. Chrome on MacOS Tahoe.

Tried “save as”, insecure download blocked. :man_gesturing_no:

I reuploaded them for you in Google Drive Reco Shared Files – Google Drive
