Hyperlow Airshot ReelSteady GoPro 7 Anti Vibration Mount by vicewize

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

UPDATE: 1-1-21: I have pretty much given up on this mount but left it if someone wants to remix it and do it right. I have too many other projects and I primarily use the GP8 as its much better overall for reelsteady with labs firmware. I just use Hypersmooth on the 7, but hey its here if you want a shot at it.
UPDATE 9-7-20: Thingiverse isn't showing the actual mount (too many polygons) but its in the file. I tested it and im currently modifying it, it didn't quite dampen enough and wasn't as crash worthy as I would like. Update to come..
I was always disappointed that the GoPro 7 Black needed such vibration dampening to use ReelSteady Go and all the mounts I have seen with zipties and other odd ways somewhat work, but I wanted something finished quality, durable, that just works. Print it on its edge the closed end flat to build plate, so spin the mount 90 degrees that way the legs only need supports. The legs will be bent over at 90 degrees both front and rear and attached to the mounting plate which is indexed for the arms to fit nicely. This version is made for the slide on ND filter attachment (included) which uses TBS jello guard ND filters nor anything in that square shape. I used a Telesin "pop on" type ND filter to test and it worked fine with that as well but future revisions with contain 2 different mounts for the TBS type and without. Uptilt is currently being tested and its roughly 35 degrees, (way to shallow) but once I get more printed ill include them for 3-4 different uptilt angles.
Ver. 1.0 Prototype:
TEST #1
8-30-20
Looked over the footage and amazed at how well it actually worked, original design was too thin and I crashed and split the thin TPU body (not the long dampening arms their suprisingly strong). Possibly need to modify the dampening arm thickness very slightly +/- to completely dampen out vibration, a closer look at footage will determine this.
Ver 2.0 Changes:
8-31-20
Added gussets and thickened body of mount to increase stiffness and durability for crash events. Lengthened arms to adjust to proper up-tilt (original was at about 12 degrees). Added round pads around dampening arms where they meet the body the further strengthen them as i see them as the only weak point. Footage totally useable in ReelSteady Go. More to come...
ND Filter Mount Included, or you can used and of the "pop on" type with stock GoPro lens protector, remove lens protector to use included ND filter mount.
Mount Rear Legs First then bend whole mount assembly over and front legs 90 degrees then use a long allen wrench (a ball end Allen works the best for this) while bending the entire assembly to get to the screws (dont worry TPU is tough!). Future revisions will address this as well as up-tilt angle, and proper leg thickness for dampening.
