Budget camera mount. DIY!

Interested in doing this with a GoPro I bought to shoot dive videos. Would this setup hold the extra weight OK?

The weight is not the issue here. The issue is that a GoPro has a very wide angle lens and you will have a hard time seeing what you are filming. You could try filming in 4k and then try to zoom-in in post production. Or you could change the lens on the GoPro to a more tele like lens. Probably 6 mm or so.

Hi Toku58. Good stuff! I had told my friends last year that i wanted to use my anglesight like this. I actually have a custom lens in my gopro that would allow me to use it in this application. In your post, you mentioned that the hardest part was sanding the tube or bushing. Which piece are you referring to and are you referring to the inner diameter or outter of that piece?

Thanks,
