Two Handy hands free mounts: Manfrotto and GoPro chest mount

thingiverse

These are variants of Handy's V2 prototype hands free mount. MANFROTTO MOUNT: This mount connects to a manfrotto flex arm and superclamp or other 1/4-20 thread tripod connector. ADD IN A STANDARD 1/4-20 NUT MID-PRINT! (Or the Manfrotto won't have anything to connect to.) This is a remix of Handy's V2 prototype mount with the simple addition of the side rib reinforcements. I had a couple of my prints split there. It might have been poor layer adhesion in my printer, but I added these ribs and haven't had any splits since. If you've already printed Handy's prototype, and haven't had any problem with splitting, I don't think you need to try this version. Amazon links to the Manfrotto gooseneck and the superclamp.

This provides a hands free experience for the Handy. Slide the chest mount down as far as needed to position the Handy properly (I usually slide the shoulder straps under my arms). So the chest mount sits on the belly, like a belt, with the curved extension arm pointing toward your feet. I position the Handy with buttons facing me, and sleeve adapter facing away from me. Works best in a reclining position, but I have used it okay in a sitting position, too. Curved extension arm can be found many places, including Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/OctinPris-Extension-Different-Lengths-Compatible/dp/B08BLB85ZS/ref=asc_df_B08BLB85ZS/?tag=thingiverse09-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459655373910&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5051717432335610114&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029699&hvtargid=pla-944947277925&psc=1 Chest mount: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Chest-Mount-Harness-cameras/dp/B01D3I8A7A/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=gopro+chest+mount&qid=1622690309&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRlhCTU5DMjZJMVZQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODcwMDM1MkFGSzExM1M4V1cxWiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODg2MTkyMkY0N01YNFlMMk4xTCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Small extension piece that connects the curved arm to the Handy mount: https://www.amazon.com/OctinPris-Adjustable-Extension-Connector-Convertor/dp/B07FXKH8K3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=gopro+extension+piece&qid=1622690415&sr=8-3
