Gopro mount

[peterthedrummer]

I want to mount my gopro to the top of my traxxas slash 2wd as u can see in the images below. I won't be doing any serious jumping just wondering if it be to bouncy from movement from the shell

Comes down to the Go Pro. The GoPro 7 and 8 have pretty awesome stabilisation. Below it's a bit rougher. 

 

But it's not like it's an easy test? Put some double sided tape on it, stick the cam on and have a drive around some grass and see what it looks like.

A spreader plate under the shell will help, but you'll need to drill and bolt the plate and camera mount together.

Where do I get a spreader plate from 

[Honeybadger]

You could use a bit of aluminium plate, G10 or even some thicker plastic.

Make one, just get creative.

GoPros actually come with one, you can stick that directly to the shell, which will help, no need to drill just to test it out.

It just gives the GoPro a wider footprint and less chance of movement.

It's actually vibrations that cause more issues than movement though.

It's why I bought a Hero Session, so much smaller and lighter so you get less shake.

Movement/stabilisation can be done later on.

Unfortunately I don't own the original packaging with the plate

Almost anything will work, I just mentioned this because the mount is built in, so it reduces the need for adhesive foam.

You can also buy the plates I am pretty sure.

I would probably do as above and get some kind of plate, I just wouldn't be terribly keen on drilling the bodyshell, merely because a couple of bad landings and it'd probably badly crack/shatter.
