Hobie Cat Telo-Cat GoPro Camera Mount Adapter

thingiverse

These parts allow you to mount a GoPro (or similar) camera mount on a Davis Instrument Telo-Cat [https://www.davisinstruments.com/product/telo-cat/]. I was thinking about ways to mount a camera on my Hobie Cat 16 sailboat to capture all the fun stuff that happens while sailing. There aren't a lot of places to mount a camera that aren't in the way of operating the boat. I have a Telo-Cat wind vane attached to the headstay bridle, which provides a good place for a camera. The 5mm square bar is just about the right size for a GoPro mount. I used a needle file to expand the round hole in the GoPro mount into a 5mm square hole. I printed two of these simple adapter to hold the mount in the right position on the Tel-Cat. The adapter has a threaded hole for an M4 machine screw to hold it in place.
