Helmet Cam Spinner

Last crawled date: 6 years, 2 months ago

Mount a spinning pole with a GoPro, on your helmet and get some interesting camera angles! I designed this one specifically for my helmet (Bern Macon). Safer than comparable models out there as you don't screw anything into the helmet. In the event of a crash, the 3D printed parts will break instead of your head!

Quick demo video, cheesey, I know!!!

Materials needed:

I recommend sourcing these parts from somewhere like your local Fastenal or other similar nuts & bolts store.
