Suction Cup Camera Mount for A129 Pro & GPS

thingiverse

This is a suction cup camera mount for the A129 pro camera with GPS. It is designed to clamp around the GPS since I found sticking the GPS to a plastic paddle as if it were stuck to the windshield kills the GPS signal. It uses a tripod base with three suction cups since a single suction cup base proved unstable. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E8CWB6G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to obtain the suction cups needed for this design. I did not trust the ball joint on this to be rigid enough, so I designed my own base. The aluminum tubing I used came from an old patio umbrella. I don't know if that tubing size is standardized, so you may have to tweak the design to fit whatever tubing you have on hand. This design also requires tapping some M3 holes. three in the tubing to connect the base and camera mount to the tubing, and one to clamp the gps. My goal was to include my hands on the steering wheel, my feet on the pedals, the in car display, and the view out the windshield. Originally, "Navigate On Autopilot" was going directly into panic mode instead of first bringing up a message, then flashing the screen blue first when nagging about keeping hands on the steering wheel. This seemed to happen in construction zone when I already had my hands on the wheel. Now it is for viewing what the AI visualization was doing when FSD beta does something weird. I'm too busy looking out the windshield to look at the display in these situations. This was designed specifically for the Viofo A129 pro. The design may need tweaking if you plan to use it with a different camera. I know that the A119 V2 uses a different GPS base than the A129 Pro. I don't know which other cameras use the same GPS base.
