Overview:
The centring mount is designed to align the mounting prongs with the optical centre. A common issue with action and compact cameras is that their mounting points are often offset from the lens. If, like me, you prefer to capture footage with symmetry, this typically requires an assortment of mounting arms arranged in a zig-zag pattern. But no more!
This mount solves that by offsetting your camera to align the prongs directly with the lens. Now available for GoPro Hero, DJI OSMO Action and Insta360 Ace Pro models.
Design:
There were several challenges in getting this right, not least of which was determining the correct offset for each camera as every model sits slightly differently. Once measured and accounted for, the next step was designing each mount to be as compact as possible while maintaining stiffness. The moment force applied to the prongs at the end of an arm acts like a lever, increasing the likelihood of resonance and wobbling. To eliminate this, the mount tapers outward, increasing the geometry and overall stiffness.
