    Hey all,

    What do you guys use your GoPro windshield mount for? Dash cam or what? New to this idea and looking for applications.

    thanks

    I was hoping for something beyond the basic use, that's all. Innovations on a new idea.

    I've slapped a GoPro Session on it... I can use my Sony HDR-AS300, but the stupid Sony has a Sony-ism - it doesn't automatically invert the video. You have to change a menu setting to invert it... then you have to change it BACK.

    So I don't use it much at all.

    Do you mean the mount, or the camera?

    I just 3d printed an ez-pass box for my GoPro mount, wanted something out of the way and that rattled less then the suction mount I had, time will tell how it will do with heat and cold but for now it should work. I was surprised it actually pieced together and fit on the first printIMG_20180528_010923.jpg IMG_20180528_010931.jpg IMG_20180528_010928.jpg

    How much for another one? That's brilliant.

    I can't get mine to stay stuck to the window during the summertime with double sided tape.

    Unfortunately I had some problems with the GoPro bit, however I'm printing what I think will be the final solution now, as for selling them, that's a different story, seeing as there's no real way to hold it together just yet except press fitted panels which I'm sure will eventually wear or warp leaving it useless unless you decide to glue your ez-pass into the box (a drop of glue on each corner of the lid should do it) but if you ever need it out you'd have to break it open, however that's why I left the window on the front to get the info off of it easily. If it's still appealing after the redesign I'll put it up as an open file and everyone that wants one can go to their choice of 3d print company to make them, this also works out better because I don't have nylon to print with and that would be the best option however all 3d print companies have it as an option. I'll put up pics when it's done and mounted if this one works!

    Would it be possible to use the same screw/pin the actual go pro camera would use and just cut out the hole(s) for it in the EZ Pass case?

    I realize I didn't do a great job articulating what I am talking about.:rofl:

    I have a couple of ram mount extensions. Have decided what they're going to hold yet. Probably a phone dedicated to the Gaia app.

    I removed the idea for a solid GoPro base and added the pice that would go into a standard GoPro mount, is that what you meant? Lol
