3D printing is the best way to get affordable, lightweight, yet absolutely useful items to enhance the stabilization, accuracy, and protection of your camera. Read on to find out more about our 8 coolest and best 3D printed GoPro accessories and mounts! Make your GoPro fly, dive, and race!
1. 3D Printed GoPro Scuba Mount
Attach your GoPro camera to your diving mask and collect amazing first-person underwater video shots for your next dive or snorkeling trip. This mount was Felipe De La Torre’s first 3D design and was printed in Alumide with i.materialise. Read more about it here.
2. 3D Printed GoPro Kitesurf Mount
Kiteboarding is a sport that combines aspects of wakeboarding, windsurfing, and paragliding into one extreme sport. A kiteboarder harnesses the power of the wind with a large controllable power kite to propel himself across the water on a board similar to a small surfboard. It’s no wonder that an extreme sport like this called for extreme video footage.
Luckily, there’s a 3D Printed mount in Polyamide(SLS) for that: the GoPro Kitesurf Mount by Imprenta3D.
