Hi everyone this is my submission:

Notes:

*This is a prototype and none of the following information is guaranteed. Use at your own risk.

*The dimensions are in inches. The stl file may automatically assume mm, so change the units, but not the numbers.

GoPro Ball: This is a six inch (15cm) diameter ball that the GoPro Hero4 Session can be inserted into. It can be 3D printed using rubber-like filament or some other flexible material. The purpose of this is to expose the GoPro to diverse situations it has never handled before. Throw it around at the park, play mini sports, fetch with your dog, party games, try bouncing it across the water at the beach, toss it around the audience at a concert, drop it down a waterfall, and capture every moment in amazing 1080p60 footage! The GoPro Ball floats in water and is slightly weighted so that the camera will capture the most action. With its strong and versatile design, the applications are limitless. Discover and share your own!

Thanks Everyone and good luck to the other entrants!

I can’t find dimensions of workable model of the GoPro mount (the parts that angles the mount) Anyone? Just the dimensions so I can draw it myself.

OK! Here we go! Admittedly, I’m not the greatest CAD designer on Earth. Probably not in my street but, hey! Here’s my entry. It’s a holder for the new GoPro that can be used as a Tinkerplay component. I designed the case in Fusion360 ( 45x45x40mm with mainly 12mm fillets minus 35x35x35mm with 7.5mm fillets on 4 sides ) ,exported it to STL, then imported that to Tinkercad and attached some Tinkerplay ends from the library. Aaaaaaand…Voila!! :smiley:

The original idea was to make it a Tinkerplay head, with big ears, a hipster haircut and a single-lens RayBan Wayfarer. Maybe a nice beard and moustache too, but I couldn’t make it to the Fusion 360 training and would have ended up throwing my Mac out of the window before the design was finished. I’m not sure quite how practical it is, as you probably can’t get to the controls and once it’s fitted, you might have problems getting the GoPro out but I think it’s a kinda interesting concept and it could be a stepping-off point for all kinds of cool “X-pod” designs for the GoPro. Just goes to show how easy it is too. If I can do it, anyone can!

Thought I’d add a Sketchfab link too! :smiley:

Cheers!

I am not the best CAD design but I made a GroPro Mount that connects to your T-shirt and It can film while you are walking or running. It is great for capturing video (near to your eyes and like what you see.) Easy to use and great to use while traveling to rare places. It just clips on to your T-shirt and you can use household items to clip on so it does not fall down and off the holder but is is strong and go ahead and print it.

Thanks guys. You’ve encouraged me to try to address the limitations of my previous designs and I came up with this…

It’s a single component that can be printed twice without support. If the two rings are fitted to the GoPro, they allow access to the button, and allow 3 or 4 Tinkerplay legs to be added. If you want to take close-up vertical videos, you can aim the camera down between the legs, or even wrap the legs around something for a secure mount. I’m still not 100% happy with it but I feel like I’m getting close. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Has been a while, too long. Love it Brainfloat, good to see you guys entering!

Well, just as many others in this contest (For what I believe), I’m not a great designer (yet) in 3D modelling. The following idea I had many years ago, but in comparison with the ‘normal’ GoPro’s, they where a bit clumsy to become that the 4 Session could become ; The GoPro 4 Baby Sessions.

This case provides a hole for a spoon or fork (dimensions for the lemmet max. 20mm by 2,3mm) to attach your Gopro 4 on top of the spoon or fork for funny and cute sessions with your Mini-Me. While your Mini-Me is sleeping and you want to film that, there are two holes on the top of the case for a wire, easily hang up your GoPro for a few hours to make a sleep-timelapse of your child.

At the front, is the Cockpit-cap. A rare and bizar 'nose-cone for a plane, but through the eye of the camera it’s a unique viewing point/angle you’ve never experienced before with a Gopro camera. Place it in front of your case and film it like little creatures discovering a giant baby. Like making your own Toy Story !!

And for your older kids… You can change and share other wings, cockpits and caps to create your own unique ‘Baby Boeing’-cam.

This is GoPro 4 Baby Sessions.

*one of the renders are from my first model, without the detachable wings and cockpit cap, but shows perfectly for what I had in mind. Take a spoon, or take a fork and go…
