GoPro Session mount for Reelsteady Go (Donut 3 inch cinewhoop frame)
Description
This GoPro Session mount is designed for the [Donut Cinewhoop frame](https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GmvKnlbmDf) to produce footage suitable for Reelsteady Go. It provides just enough dampening to remove the high frequency vibrations getting into the GoPro's gyroscope so Reelsteady can handle it. It is extremely light, allowing you to save a few extra grams to make the quad fly better or carry a larger battery. This absolutely needs to be printed in flexible filament! I used SainSmart TPU with Shore hardness of 95 A. Slightly lower than that should also work, but I do not recommend going higher. The mount provides virtually no protection for the GoPro, so a hardened glass lens protector is a must. **Usage**: pay attention to the orientation when mounting it on the frame. It should be upside down compared to how you print it. Do not overtighten the screws, when the base starts deforming around them, it is time to stop. Getting the GoPro in might be challenging for the first few tries, here's how you do it: push the back lower part of the camera into the back brace of the mount and then slide your fingers along the brace upwards, gradually pulling the mount on the GoPro. Pull it far enough so the mount is fully situated on the rubber part of the camera body, as shown at the side photos. Repeat with the front brace. Adjust your FPV camera angle to visually match the GoPro's. You're ready to go! There are two versions of the mount, "low" and "high". The "low" is more suitable for indoors and slower proximity filming, while the "high" is for taking faster cruising footage. The mounts are marked on the front brace so you can distinguish between the two. Camera angle "low" version: about 10 degrees Camera angle "high" version: about 15 degrees Weight: 5.5 grams This video was taken with the "low" mount: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ft73zsMLBZ8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> If you print these, please consider posting a make. I enjoy seeing things I designed out in the wild.
