Rip-Worthy: GoPro Hero 5 - 13 + 4k, TPU Drone Mounts, Max FOV

*Companion project to my other parametric configurable FPV designs:* | [O3 Pod](https://www.printables.com/model/381833) | [O3 Frame](https://www.printables.com/model/555104-dji-o3-camera-frame-maximal-lens-protection-minima) | [Action2](https://www.printables.com/model/217897), [3+4](https://www.printables.com/model/726658) | [AcePro](https://www.printables.com/model/726602) | [GoPro Mini](https://www.printables.com/model/324369-gopro-11-mini-drone-mount-any-drone-any-tilt-any-n) | [Hero 9-12](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6507411) | [Antenna Mount](https://www.printables.com/model/451006-the-fpv-antenna-project-universal-configurable-fpv) | Go see this project **[on printables](https://www.printables.com/model/734526-rip-worthy-gopro-hero-9-12)** for more example files, all nicely organized by manufacturer! ### My Newest Bando-Safe Design Only basic 10º versions are uploaded here. Everything else is made ***on-demand*****! **All **ND filter versions, tilt options, positioning, vertical/horizontal variations** are made on-demand when you message me: - *Join my *[***3D Design discord***](https://3d.t413.com/go/discord?tv.gp12)*! * - *All requests are optionally donation-supported, on-demand!* - *Response within 24h!* - *Please read the "steps" below first!* - Please, no dms. They're much harder to organize, reply-to and will take a few weeks. - Use my discord! Thingiverse page is WIP ### Max FOV Design Just like all other FPV designs in [my profile](https://www.printables.com/@t4obrien), this is designed by modeling the FOV of the camera! Maximum protection, nothing in view.  This is part of my on-demand *alive* 3D design projects. See the table above and! I've made *thousands *of designs and new friends for pilots all across the globe. ### Maximum protection, bando-bash all day and keep it pretty!  Need a standard gopro-style attachment version? I can make that for you as well! **It's not remotely possible** to upload *every tilt* for *every frame* with *each ND* option and *each positioning*. That would be thousands of files.. and they change every time I get new feedback. My designs are *alive*, they're always evolving. Plus it's great hearing from people and seeing the builds I helped make. Get the version configured for you: just follow the steps! ### Step 1: Pick your Camera! Almost any GoPro Hero! Each of these is slightly different and designed special: * Hero 5 - 6 * Hero 7 * Hero 8 * Hero 9 - 10 * Hero 11 (different FOV from the 9-10) * Hero 11 mini (has its own [design page](https://www.printables.com/model/324369-gopro-11-mini-drone-mount-any-drone-any-tilt-any-n)) * Hero 12 - 13 (unique FOV, different than the hero11) * Hero 4k 2024 (brand new design!) ### Step 2: Pick your quad(s) What quad you got?? I've made a highly flexible, adaptive system, with over 125 different bases, new ones every day. See the [files on my Action2 design](https://www.printables.com/model/217897/files) for some common ones! ### Step 3: Pick your uptilt angle(s) - Cinewhoops: 10-20º - Cinematic/Long Range: 20º - Freestyle: 25-35º - Racing: 40º+ ### Step 4: Pick your ND Filter (or none!)  1. Badass all-around TBS-style plate-glass 1. 2.5mm thick filters [[tbs site](https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:ndfilter_nd16)] Also compatible with the similar 2.5mm thick Camera Butter insert filters. 2. Held in from top and bottom notches, inserted from either side.  3. Also works *great* without filters (and even provides extra protection over no-ND option). The most flexible option! 2. Optional: *overkill* TBS-style 1. It's bigger, heavier, sometimes less durable since it's got a dedicated slot. 2. Makes camera install/removal much more difficult. 3. Lens-replacement style 1. These don't need anything special, just replace the lens with a darker one! 4. Over-Lens NDs 1. Works.. just gigantic, less protective, and usually expensive.  2. Leaves a huge gap when filming without the ND All ND versions/tilts *are **configured on-demand***! See **Step 8**! ### Step 5: Camera Positioning 1. **Standard** - Props probably in view - Full size underbelt slot (see below. adds extra protection option and reduces vibration / image jello) - Your quad's frame takes head-on impacts, camera hits second. 2. **Forward** - Props hidden (depending on frame) - Small underbelt slot (if any) - Camera is more exposed. Less great for bando bashing.. but also this mount offers *lots of protection*. 3. **Extra Forward** - Props definitely hidden - No underbelt slot option. - Camera is very exposed out-front. Probably not best for bando bashing but great for cinematic. ### Step 6: Bolts & Base Options - Base Thickness: - Standard is **now 3.4mm thick**.  - Thick is 4mm - Bolt style: - Standard size for M3 bolts is a 6mm diameter bolt-head. - Perfect for nearly all M3 bolts and plenty strong. - Big-Boltz, for M3 bolts, has a 8mm diameter bolt head. - Great for things like these [FPV Countersunk Washers](https://pyrodrone.com/products/m3-countersunk-washer-1-pc) if you want extra strength/flair. - Shoulder-bolts option.  - Great for products like the [QuadMula PS-3 Spacers](https://quadmula.com/products/ps-3-profile-spacer) that come with the Quadmula frames. ### Step 7: Extra configuration options 1. **X-Offset**: Make the lens more centered over the FPV camera. Many pilots prefer this.. I support it! 2. ***Underbelt*** slot allows for an optional battery strap around the camera for extra ejection protection and slightly more front-end hit protection. 1. Also seems to really reduce jello by allowing for a smaller area for vibration transmission to pass through. Great! 2. Not included by default on standard mounts. 3. Extra **base thickness** 1. Beware: older designs uploaded here are only 2.2mm! 2. Standard is **now 3.4mm thick**.  3. Ultra thick is 4mm thick. 4. Different camera wall size ### Step 8: Request the STL! Send me a message on [discord](https://3d.t413.com/go/discord?tv.gp12)! Haven't found a better way to get y'all your STLs yet! Everything is generated on-demand with the settings you ask for. Why? 1. The STLs in the 'files' section are outdated.  - I can't possibly keep re-exporting, uploading, and organizing 80+ STLs after each tweak! 2. They don't have the configuration you want.  - ND filters? Angle that's not 25º? Underbelt option? Thicker base? - I can't possibly upload all the variations! So request it! I've set up my discord as a cool queue system. I'll get you your custom STL in less than 24h, usually right away. ### Step 9: PRINT THE LCD PROTECTOR Print the `back glass protector 0.8mm.stl` in something rigid (like PLA) and glue it into the recessed spot on the back of the mount.  Why? In hard crashes the battery can crack the LCD through several mm of TPU since the force isn't distributed by the flexible material. It needs a '*rigid TPU sandwich*'! It's the light and strong way to protect your LCD! Cracked LCDs can happen with insanely hard hits. My "*rigid TPU sandwich" *only goes so far. Fill any gap between your battery and camera with foam.. it'll save your battery and your LCD.  ### Step 10: Print the Mount - Print with TPU filament, slowly - Use tree support if your slicer supports it - Best printed **on its side** (as oriented in the STL). - Use **2 perimeter walls** for most setups. 3 walls for bando bashing. - Infill: Use 20 - 30% **cubic infill** - 15 - 20% for most setups - 25 - 30%  infill for bando bashing - Really don't go above 30% infill, it just adds extra weight but no strength benefit. *Also look at the makes section for other users' tips!* ### Step 10: Print the _Back LCD Wedge_ (new rev 6+!) New Modular LCD / Battery Protection Wedge! Keep your LCD and battery in-tact, even after huge direct-hit crashes. My new modular wedge design slots into the back of the mount and fills the gap between the camera and your battery. _Pardon the photos showing my_ [_Action2 Mount design_](https://www.printables.com/model/217897)_. Still need some new photos of this cam!_ The new design prints in two parts. Easy access to the rear bolts! Easy weight savings for long range flights!  Wedge-specific print settings: * Also print in TPU * Just **1 perimeter wall!** More is wasteful and overkill for this part. * Use **Cubic** infill pattern * Between 16 - 26% infill depending on how fast you're flying. * Optionally: zero top/bottom layers.. saves weight and looks pretty cool. _Also look at the makes section for other users' tips!_ ### **Step 11: Cut the USB/SD door!** To aid in printing the side USB/SD door is kept connected but with thin walls. If you'd like access to that side door while inside the case then two cuts (colored in red) work in tandem with a built-in hinge area to allow easy opening!  ### **Step 12: Post your makes!** Please post 'em! _Really!_ Take a cameraphone photo with your dope color matched mount in all its glory and show it off! Plus it really helps get this design out there to the world > ### That's it! Go fly! ### Again: BEWARE, what's uploaded here is OUTDATED FAST Seriously. I just can't keep re-uploading and categorizing 120+ STLs. Tweaks are always happening based on feedback. Thicker base, more material here, less there, on and on. So: ### Want the Latest Version? Missing your Quad? ND Filters? Message me! [discord](https://3d.t413.com/go/discord?tv.gp12)! The 120*+ mount designs* I've uploaded here (see files!) are updated after every tidbit of feedback I get and are all already out-of-date. Message me for the latest version! New quads/variations for folks all the time. I may already have the one you need. It's really zero trouble, I can export configurations on my phone and send them over instantly. ### What sort of frames are supported? - **Classic designs** from the *Apex by ImpulseRC,* to the Quadmula Siren, and to the *Y6 by Freelon *and everything in-between - **Open source designs** like the [*OpenRacer*](https://github.com/OpenRacer/OpenRacer/)for racing and the [*TBS Source-One*](https://github.com/tbs-trappy/source_one)* v1, v2, and v3 *for freestyle - **Family designs** where one manufacturer has a common bolt-pattern for all their quads: AOS (AOS5, LR5, UL5, AOS7, etc), iFlight (XL5/Nazgul, SL5/Cidora, F5D-Evoque) - **Anti-family manufacturers.** Every model is different, but whyyy: GepRC (mark2, mark4 analog, HD, 4k, mark5, 5 classic, Smart35, Baby Croc, Gep180, 7, etc), Rotor Riot (HD1, CL1, CL2, Skyliner/mk3, bubby), Lumenier (QAV-S Johnny, S JB, R 2, S Mini 3) Diatone (Roma F5 V1, V2, F35), FPVCycle (Glide std, Glide+, CineSplore, Sonicare, Toothfairy), etc - **Bolt-across designs** like the *Bando Killer* or the *Catalyst Machineworks Shocker*,  - **Hybrid bolt-across designs** like the *Ummagawd 2Fiddy* - **Hybrid belt/bolt designs** like the *Armattan Chameleon/Marmotte/Badger*, even the tiny *Gecko* - **Mullet designs** (b*olt-across in the front and bolt-down in the back!)* like *Rotor Riot Skyliner, FPVCycle Sonicare, Ummagawd Moongoat, Rotor Riot Bubby Moxy* - **Hook-under designs** like the *Diatone Roma* mounts or the *Armattan Gecko* - **3-bolt designs** like the *Protek25, Ethix Cinerat, Hyperlite Freerange 5, Reptile Cloud 149, Primitive FPV Primal 5, ImpulseRC Reverb*, etc - **2-bolt** designs like the *Shendrones Squirt/Terraplane/Hydroplane, GepRC Cinelogs* - **Insane** designs like the *MB Epic 262 v2* (see the photos to see what I mean) ### **Please Post Your Makes!** Please post 'em! Really! Take a cameraphone photo with your dope color matched mount in all its glory and show it off! Plus it really helps get this design out there to the world. ### **Sharing & License & Stuff** The LAST thing I want to do is restrict anyone from sharing. But. PLEASE share links to this printables page, not the STLs. Here's why: 1. This is under active development. The STLs WILL CHANGE and get better. 2. The documentation is really important here, and I'm sure there's stuff I'll be adding as feedback comes in. 3. The community is important, I want people to reach out and join the discord not download some STLs and go it alone. 4. It's just a *super dick move* to repost designer's stuff. I've spent a long time making, testing, and documenting this and my only reward is that little stupid 'like' counter, download counter, and photos/stories from users. *DON'T DEPRIVE ME OF MY ONE SENSE OF SELF WORTH* The actual license is Creative Commons (4.0 International License) Attribution---Noncommercial---No Derivatives. If you'd like to print this commercially then reach out to me with a direct-message on [discord](https://3d.t413.com/go/discord?tv.gp12) and we can talk. Flying professionally *using* my designs is fine-- though please do consider donating to support my work! ### Remixing Please chat with me in my [discord server](https://3d.t413.com/go/discord?tv.gp12) **before** making or posting any remixes. 99% of remixes have been manual recreations of things I don't want posted and that take me 20s to make for you directly. Save yourself the trouble and me the heartache.
