Gopro mount adapter for gopro gimbal adapter

thingiverse

What in the world is this thing? This the gopro mount adapter for gopro gimbal adapter that can be bought in various places. It consists of two things: the adapter itself and a bucket for counterweight. ...but why? Some of the GoPros cannot be unleashed from it's casing (like Hero or Hero+). Also, my printer is max 10x10x10cm in size, so printing whole adapter was not an option. But does it work? Yes, you can see a bit of gimball arm in the corner. You can deal with it in two ways: a) trim the video b) use gimball in horizontal mode Additional hints? I filled the counterweight basket with steel balls and epoxy resign. I noticed that when the adapter is hold by just zip ties like in the photo, the whole setup tends to resonate. I'd suggest adding some rubber or (hot) glue if you're going to mount it by zipties like me, this eliminates the issue. The gimbal stand is not a part of the project. Tested with Hero and Dji osmo mobile. Should work with simmilar GoPros.
