Gimbal GoPro Mount Zhiyun Smooth Q

thingiverse

I designed this GoPro Mount for my Zhiyun Smooth Q3 Gimbal, because the original mount that came with the gimbal wasnt that well designed and quite heavy, meaning combined with the GoPro its weight was almost 200g, which is the maximum this gimbal can handle. The outer shape of the mount fits perfectly into the rubber on the gimbals clamp. The holes on the back side (top side when printing) are fitted for 20 Euro-cent coins to level the camera in the gimbal. This is quite important, otherwise your gimbal will use a lot of power to keep the camera horizontal, it might even damage the motors. I used a total of 10 coins and extended the arm half its way to get my camera level. but you will have to check for yourself. To keep the coins from falling out, I used a strip of tape, even though the coins already have a tight fit in the holes. The screwholes are made in such a way, that you use the existing metal bar to fix the camera to the mount (see photos) Maybe I will add a printable version of this clamp in the future
