Joist GoPro Mount by coddingtonbear

Last crawled date: 3 years, 5 months ago

My workbench is in the basement, and when I record videos of various projects from there, I use my GoPro camera. Rather than working around a tripod that always seems to be in the way, I use this mount that attaches to the floor joists overhead -- now the camera is no longer an obstacle.
Note that this does not screw into the joists -- the two bolts are there only to create enough pressure for the mount to have a tight grip on the joist above.
This print requires a few extra things, some of which you might just have laying around:
A 0.5-inch rod of whatever length is appropriate for reaching from the floor joists to where you'd like your GoPro to be. I used aluminum, but, really, anything is fine.
Four M6 nuts. These are captive in the design, see the printing instructions below for brief suggestions about how to configure your print to automatically pause at the right moments for you to insert each nut.
Four 20mm+ M6 bolts.
