Who here runs Gopros? (interest thread)

[Jam]

Does anyone else here run GoPro cameras? (any of the 3)

I've got a friend that has a CNC Mill, and I've been poking around with the idea to make some mounts out of aluminum. (Personally I haven't had luck with the plastic mounts, and I prefer a solid permanent mounting location) If enough interest is found it will go into the design faze and go from there. The features that I personally would like to have are:

- Mounting options include the choice of self drilling screws or nuts, bolts and...

hmmm, I would be interested - an aluminum tube clamp (that is tapped for the thumbscrew) would be great, anodized would be cool too!

Can you make me one to clamp on a 1.75" tube?

Have you ever checked out "RAM mounts"? I use there system for my GPS and cameras, super versitile and easy to use.

A run could be done of the flat mounts I mention, and the tube mounts you guys request. I spoke with him last night on the matter and he said that as long as the demand is there (10 or above I believe) that he wouldnt have a problem doing it.

and BLSXJ From what Ive seen RAM does only plastic, and from all the research Ive done I havent found a company that does the aluminum mounts the way I think they should be. What I never understood was the willingness to use plastic mounts (and sticky tabs) for such a high dollar item (My H3B, memory cards, filter, etc adds up pretty quick, Well over 500 bucks)

And not to mention the potential of having something that ONLY OVO has

I apologize, you are correct RAM mounts only has a plastic composite GOPRO adapter, you can get every other piece they make in aluminum or plastic.

best of luck

No need to apologize!

Is there anymore interest around? Surely there is more out there. Id like to keep it an OVO thing if possible, but if I have to I will branch out to reach the required numbers.

I'd be interested. Do you have any pictures of what it would look like? I'd need it for a 1" tube.
