Description
***** new better design available *****
This mount fits a cold shoe for an external microphone onto the Hohem iSteady 4 Pro using a Gopro camera.
Since the Gopro media mod doesn't fit on the Hohem gimbal, the Gopro 3.5 mm microphone adapter is integrated.
Tested with PLA and ASA. Variable layer heights recommended.
Printed vertically with some snug supports that are easy to remove.
Assembly with some CA glue.
Head socket screw 1/4" x 3/8".
Update 20230712:
Have been testing tons of different USB C cables and cable extensions – none of them seem to work reliably.
I need a thin and light 50 centimeter USB C cable extension that works (!) with the Gopro 3.5 mm microphone adapter (one male plug, the other female)! I've purchased a lot of different USB C-C cables, connectors etc.. I went so far to tschopp the media mod, so it fits the Hohem gimbal – but the gimbal can't balance the additional weight. Some cables work, then don't….. Gopro just haven't done their job :-(
I am currently developing another design without the need of this additional USB C cable.

Here is the newly designed and recommended mic adapter mount.
