GoPro Mic Adapter Holder Hero 7 etc

This is a holder for the official GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter for the GoPro Hero 7 and other cameras with the USB-C connector on the left hand side (from the back) of the GoPro camera.

It has also got a cold shoe for attaching a microphone such as the Røde VideoMicro as shown in one of the photos. The cold shoe is positioned as far away from the lens as possible so that the wind muff is as little visible as possible, even when using wide lenses such as SuperView.

Due to the design of the Mic Adapter, the holder is quite high so that the cold shoe and the 3.5mm plug can be accommodated on one side and so that the USB-C cable is not put under undue strain.

I have used full supports everywhere where needed, as there's several overhangs. Feel free to position the holder in a way that suits you the best. However, I recommend that the centre hole where the adapter fits into is printed vertically without supports as this is a very critical dimension. On my i3 Mk3 the adapter fits snugly in without any sanding/filing. Your print may vary in size and some filing/sanding might be required. 
Please note that if the fit is too snug, you might damage your Mic Adapter. Please don't force it in, if it doesn't fit. Increase the size of the hole/print instead, for example, try printing at 101% or something.

The 2 and 3 prong GoPro finger mounts will also need filing and sanding to get them to fit in a good way. I have found that it is easier to sand/file them so that they work well, especially as they usually require supports to print in a solid way. I also recommend running a 5mm drill through the holes to make sure they are round and fit well. A bit of filing with a round file will probably make the hole a bit more easy to use. 

You will need an M5 nut, I prefer a Nyloc nut, to secure the three prong mount. To press the nut into the recess, use another 2 prong mount, and a longer M5 bolt with a nut on the other side to the nut to be recessed. This way you won't squish the prongs and cause them to break and the longer nut allows you to get enough purchase on the nut that's to be recessed and you can twist the bolt into place by tightening the nut/bolt on the other side. I hope this makes sense. If not, feel free to ask and I'll try to come up with a better explanation.

I have included a 0.15mm PETG G-code as a sample, but I recommend that you use the 3mf to configure the print to your liking.

Please note; Camera, microphones, tripod, mic adapter and M5 nut not included in the print. 

Hope the print works for you and let me know how you got on, feel free to ask questions.

Happy printing! 😎👍🏻
