GoPro Camera Box [The Cheap Way]
I am a motorcycle rider with a photography and filmmaking passion. I dont want my expensive camera to get damaged off a lot of use, and i dont like spending money on things i can make myself. So here comes this project, hope you enjoy! (Im still a beginner in writing instructables so please keep that in mind, and also im typing this on my iphone so forgive me some spelling issues.)
Getting the Materials
The materials list for this project is pretty simple. You need some kind of enclosure, and some sheets of foam. I used an old box from a drill I wrecked, and cut out the relief inside, so im left with a plain bottom and top. For the foam i ised insulation foam but i advise you to use some softer foam, because cutting this is hell.
Parts Placement
Find a comfortable way to place all of your parts and trace it down with a marker.
Cutting the Foam
Exacto knife time! Pretty fun huh? I lost quite a bit of time cutting that thing, hope you dont make the same mistake as i did, and get dense foam.
Final Touches
Keep in mind that you wanna leave some space for your future parts you will get. I am planning on getting more mounts so i left the upper side untouched, so i will place them there. Also i will give it a respray, i just didnt picture that. Hope you liked it and you will see more instructables from me every once a while! Cheers!
