Tablet Holder for DJI Mavic Air from the 3d Printer

GoPro Fusion 360° shoulder mount

My 360° camera (a GoPro Fusion) can take very interesting pictures, but it has one problem: Due to its size, it can’t be easily attached with a normal action cam stand (I also ride e.g. inline skates without a helmet). So what to do? I have started my Hash Animation:Master and my 3d printer and some test prints and various attempts later, I have created a first, working shoulder mount for my VR cam recordings.

AMD Ryzen – My new PC for content creation (with Hash Animation:Master) and Games (Part 1/3)
