GoPro 90-degree Adapter
this is a cheap way to make an adapter like the one that comes with the handlebar and rollcage mounts
mine was missing it as it was used so i made this
Materials
The point of this adapter is to turn your GoPro 90-degrees for a side view
You will need:
- Epoxy Glue
- 2 DISPOSABLE GoPro QuickClips ( I used 1 broken one and 1 third party one. make sure u have one more to use)
- Paper Plate
- Toothpicks
- a coarse & small fine file
- Clamp
Gluing
MAKE SURE TO DO THIS PART OUTSIDE!!!! "Epoxy Resin can cause eye and skin burns and respitory tract irritation"
I got some on my hand and was fine, but its best just to avoid touching it while wet.
- ok, first squeeze the glue out on to the plate and use the toothpick to stir it
- then dip each clip into the mixture. use the toothpick to spread it around
- then put the 2 clips together as seen in the picture, and clamp it for at least 30 min.
Filing
Now it is time to shape the bottom part
- remove the metal nut off the end of 1 of the clips
- then use a coarse file to saw off one of the 3 prongs(as seen)
- use the fine file to smooth things out
- take the small file and cut down on the edges in between and around the prongs
- you may have to drill larger holes to attach it to your mounts
- if so, use a 1/4 or 7/32 drill bit and file the edges again
DONE!!!
this mount was designed for use on the handlebar or rollcage mount. it normally comes with the mount, but mine was used and was missing it
