Summary:
Transform your classic GoPro Hero 5/6/7 into a vlogging powerhouse. This 3D printed frame features a DSLR-style grip for better stability and includes a built-in storage slot for a spare battery.
Description:
## 💡 Concept & Design While the GoPro Hero 5, 6, and 7 still produce great footage, their small form factor makes them hard to hold steady for long periods. This project "revives" these legendary cameras by adding a substantial grip, simulating the feel of a mirrorless camera. It is perfect for street photography, vlogging, and handheld shooting where stability is key.
## ✨ Key Features
- Enhanced Stability: The protruding grip allows for a firm hold, reducing micro-jitters and making button operation much more confident compared to holding the bare camera.
- Spare Battery Storage: Solves the battery life issue! The handle is hollowed out to perfectly fit 01 spare battery. You'll always have a backup ready to swap.
- Full Accessibility: Designed to allow full access to the charging port and SD card slot without removing the frame.
- Protection: Acts as a bumper case to protect the camera body from scratches and minor bumps.
- Lightweight: Weighs approximately 53g (depending on infill), ensuring your setup remains portable.
## ⚙️ Print Settings
- Material: PLA+, PLA-F, or PETG is recommended for durability.
- Layer Height: 0.2mm (Standard).
- Infill: 15% - 20% (Grid or Gyroid).
- Wall Line Count: 3 walls (Recommended for a sturdy feel).
- Supports: Yes. Supports are likely needed for the internal battery cavity and the grip overhangs. Tree supports are recommended for easier removal.
