GoPro Hero 8 TBS Source One mount (full lens protection + TBS Jello Guard ND filter slot, 25 to 35 degrees angle)

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

After my previous design which was inspired by the Ethix Facehugger I decided I wanted to make a dedicated mount for the TBS Source One based on the Facehugger design because for me it now has proven to be a very solid solution for our fragile, non replaceable, lens of the GoPro Hero 8.
The Facehugger design has one downside which is rigidity.
I've found out that on very fast flips and rolls on my 6S quad I got some untunable wobble on the pitch axis.
The Facehugger design is still a good option if you don't use a TBS Source One frame or want to use your GoPro on other frames as well but be sure to mount it very stiff to your frame.
If you're using a TBS Source One frame and want to do more of a cinematic flight or use Reelsteady Pro in the future (not updated yet to support the Hero 8 at the time of writing) I wouldn't recommend this mount but the Facehugger design because of it's very flexible and soft mounting to the frame.

I did test with an ND filter from the Foxeer Box 2 which was actually the exact size of the GoPro Hero 8 lenscover. (Peeled out the glass ND filter from the metal case of the Box 2)
Once I received the glass ND filters from TBS (TBS Jello Guard) I found I they don't fit the first versions so I've uploaded a new version where you can slide the TBS Jello Guard ND filters over the lens from the side.
There are 3 versions, a minimal and a normal version.
The print time and TPU usage is about the same as the minimal version needs more supports but once the supports are removed the minimal version should weight slightly less. (About 2 grams)
The regular version should grip on the GoPro a bit more but if you click in the lens properly it shouldn't move at all on both versions.
The TBS Jello guard version is based on the minimal design but you can slide a TBS Jello Guard over the lens from the side.https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:ndfilter_nd16
The easiest way to print is on it's side facing the lens protector to the top. I only use supports for the wedge and until the bottom of the lens protector.
