Go Pro Hero 3 Pole bracket for natural grip

thingiverse

Something really simple I've been wanting for the go pro for ages but always dismissed it for being too simple and wouldn't work. But actually I really like it. Basically it moves the connection point for the pole to the back of the camera. This means the X axis of your hand is much closer to the X axis of the lens of the gopro. So a small movement in your hand doesn't translate to a huge left-right wobble in the video, it is a slight rotation of the whole frame. Just try it :) It feels much more natural (to me) to use the camera like this, especially for lower shots or when the pole is extended. Edit - I removed the 8mm holes on the side of the bracket from the uploaded STL file as they were only a test in the prototype.
