Gopro C4 mount prototype
5 Attachment(s)
Finally received my prototypes...
Just have to make some tweaks in the 3D model and have the final version made in SS and plastic. I had a mount but wanted something that had the least amount of parts as possible (just one in this case), had a slimmer profile and kept the camera in a position where it would interfere the least with loading and aiming while giving a more POV perspective. Also wanted to be able to mount/release the camera quickly... |

Sweet! How can I get some for my Urukay 120 and Graphite 116 & 132?

Re: Gopro C4 mount prototype
Have you tried it yet? I have had issues with recoil knocking the camera back at the exact time of the shot and missing it?

Re: Gopro C4 mount prototype
With respect to recoil.....I have had good luck with using an L bracket that sits under the mount and behind the camera. Attach with a zip tie or rubber bands..

Do a google search on gopro recoil keeper to see what I mean... |
Re: Gopro C4 mount prototype
If the base of your mount had a solid bottom (instead o being 'hollow') you could use the gopro security plug (which comes with the camera) to help prevent recoil and improve overall stability.

I believe that the plug can stay in place by friction only (and it's connected to the screw so it won't get lost)... This plug doesn't help with the main recoil problem which is that the camera tends to tilt forward... thanks for the feedback! I'll consider it for the next version. |

New version arrived today... testing it tomorrow. There was an issue with the metal version and it was postponed but I'm really happy with the plastic that I might not go for metal after all.

First testing day... My first point nose grouper (Mycteroperca fusca)
Unfortunately, there's no footage as the camera battery was long gone... more then 6h session. |

This is V3 of the mount for C4 spearguns and Gopro quick release
Already sent to print... should arrive in a week. Much more reinforced; screws will be sunk in; more the double the material used. Mass ~15g and a little positive with a density of ~0.93g/cm^3 (mount alone floats). |
