@mercury This one I’d love to try out! Wonder what the image quality would be like if it survives the forces?!?!

@lucibrandus like when you hold a flashlight in your mouth? That’s why they make those head mountable ones
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!!
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!
Cheers!

Thought I’d try a rather more practical version. This time with provision for 3 legs and access to the button! Not practical. Just more practical! And no more easy to print!
Cheers!

Hey Kev, thanks for entering. Think it would be pretty useful.
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.
Cheers!

Great idea! Hook it up to a display and it adds a new meaning to the “third eye”
Alright! Here is my entry:
Lego Mount-GoPro Session 4
Pretty cool right?
The best part about this mount is its versatility. You can mount it to:

P.S. Please tell me what you think and don’t hesitate to tell me if you see some flaws I may have missed!
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… GoPro 4 Baby Sessions_0.stl (3.26 MB)

Question, am I able to upload my accessory to Shapeways too? After the contest is ended ?
Love the renders looks great!
Hey Meike, at the end of the day it’s your design so feel free to distribute and share how you see fit.

Thank you… Yes, thanks to a friend I’ve Podium V2 as Rendering software. Easy to use !
Having a bit more fun with the base model, we can now present… GoVision!
Now you can shoot 1st person perspective 3D video without all the hassle of having to physically hold 2 cameras in front of your face

Why just Go Pro, when you can Go Stereo? The small size of the GoPro Session 4 makes it perfect for 3D recording, just clip both GoPro Sessions in, attach to a tripod or GoPro mount and press record simultaneously on both cameras for great stereoscopic HD video.
Designed to be printed without supports on both FDM and SLA printers. To use the tripod version you’ll also need a 1/4" nut.
Edit: Having tried the printed version on a real camera some of the dimensions were off so I’ve created version 2 with correct dimensions. I’ve also added versions optimised for bottom-up SLA printers like the Form 1 by creating channels for the resin to flow through to prevent delayering on the base.
PS. Unfortunately we don’t actually have 2 GoPros to make any 3D films, the action shot is just a bit of Photoshop magic GoStereo_GoProMount_v2.stl (121 KB)GoStereo_TripodMount_v2.stl (95.8 KB)GoStereo_GoProMount_v2_sla.stl (161 KB)GoStereo_TripodMount_v2_sla.stl (136 KB)
