This part is designed for the other side of the GoPro Max 360 mount and fits on the end of 10mm square carbon tube you can buy at a hobby store. It fits the tiny piece of plastic that comes with at least the 360 Max that stops the camera rotating in its display case.  (They have square posts as opposed to the standard round fitting, see the close up photo..it has the words ‘remove’).

You can mount this so you look like a Unicorn and get the shots like in the GoPro Wingsuit promo video.   For me I use it for windsurfing and wear it at the back of my helmet to give very similar shots to a backpack mounted unit.

It is highly recommended to use a leash to cover the case where something breaks. The leash cord goes through the 10mm square and through a small hole in this mount and the mount on the GoPro side.

Note this is designed to be very tight on purpose so there is no movement. You will need to redrill the hole and might need some filling to fit but will depend on the accuracy of your printer.

It is designed to be printed without supports if printed in the orientation shown. I printed in PETG but you could use other material as you see fit.    A video can be found here of the sort of footage I get windsurfing. You can of course zoom out further to get more of a selfie shot. I find the unicorn mount on rear of helmet is better than backpack mount and also safer than mounting Gopro on helmet where it can damage the sail 

Edit (June 2022): This mount worked great until the little piece of display plastic broke (last picture).    I got at least 60 sessions out of it but once this piece of plastic broke the 3D print broke almost immediately.   I didn't notice the small break in the ‘remove’ plastic and tried 3 new prints, all of which died within minutes of sailing…Thus was born the new mount published recently.
