If camera mounts from top then l may need to move saddle bag (edit: just noticed that my saddle bag is on backwards!).
Pretty sure that this would be fine for a conventional gopro or a Virb. Some deeper cameras (mounted vertically - Sony?) might have a problem with the bottom corner against a saddle bag. |

@SixPackABS I was able to have an email conversation with the guy that posted the video. I made changes to the ION mount based on those conversations. Shapeways customer service is very good and he was able to have them replace the mount with the revised one. I hadn't heard from him since that time. It was modified so that all side to side and up and down movement was eliminated.
@JonnyHK What happens if the camera mounts from the top? Just ordered one unit. Excited to try it with some gopro mounts. Any plans of gopole like helmet arm extension? |

The mount is a cateye part, either with a light or as a standalone spare part.
|
I may have to order one, I have some ideas about mounting the Garmin Virb with it. I see the brackets come as a set, one long and one short. $15.00 shipped from Jenson USA.

can't wait to get hold of my
[h=1]Ion Air CamLOCK Direct GoPro Mount[/h] |
Very cool, let me know how it works as I don't own an ION AIR.
|
Yes, I don't own a ION AIR and would love to hear how well it performs. :)

Do you have a
K-EDGE Garmin/Gopro mounting? |

Received the Ion Air CamLOCK Direct GoPro Mount today. Unfortunately it is too loose and wiggles a lot. Same problem as showed in youtube. It is also pliable. The Ion air pro will wiggle a lot if I use this mount.

I tried to message you but "An error has occurred SixPackABS! You must have 50 posts in order send Private Messages. Your current post count is 17."
I took a short video of it here is the link https://www.flickr.com/photos/79080400@N08/21350016102/. The camlock adapter is not flush with the ion air pro camlock. It locks securely but not flushed hence it wiggles. |
[MENTION=342175]SixPackABS[/MENTION], I sent you a PM with my email address. Let's figure out what we can do with this.

I managed to get my hands on a HERO 3 casing and produced a new version of the mount that is a bit longer and has a 40deg bend in it to suit. Same idea, just mounted further out. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=477596http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=477597 On the bike. Fits the standard GoPro mount (would be pointing up at 45deg angle on my first design!) and clears the saddle bag. EDIT: I've sent one of my spare Fizik/Cateye mounts to WheresWaldo so he can work his magic on it... |
@JonnyHK, The clip arrived today. I will start modeling it in the next couple of days. Thanks.
BTW, the GoPro adapter looks good. |
Fizik ICS Clip

This is just the Fizik clip, not the CatEye portion. I have to test print and then go to the bike shop to see if it fits. I only have ProLogo and Selle Italia saddles and no Fizik ones. Since this is intended to be 3D printed, I eliminated the recesses to make the part stronger. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=478958 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=478959 |
Is 3D printing technology to a point where you could design and pritg a good shaped beam reflector for an LED headlight?
|
[MENTION=126124]dwmckee[/MENTION]
Yes it is, but you would have to know something about reflectors and lenses to get the beam pattern correct. |

Getting the shape right is one part. Printing it in a material that reflected well is another. Not so sure on this... |

I'm having a bit of a go at combining my earlier design (in grey) with WheresWaldo's drafting up of the Fizik mount (blue). Not going so well due to some technical issues with the CAD software though. The blue part isn't working so well as it is behaving differently to the elements that I drafted. Need to work that out. |

I can provide you with alternative solid files. What CAD program are you using? |

You would have to coat the inside of the reflector with some sort of silver paint, I would suggest smoothing out the surface first with either a topcoat or filler or vigorous sanding, then painting. It could be done, just would be a lot of work after the printing.

The element behaves strangely. Doesn't want to group, combine, intersect or cut. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=479266 From the import menu... |
Newly revised and added ION Air Camera Mounts
2 Attachment(s)
@SixPackABS, You will be happy to note that I have redesigned all the IONAir mounts, they are, or at least should be, correctly sized. I had one heck of a time finding someone who actually had IONAir mounts for sale, but I ended up buying two sets online so I could compare the actual sizes.
I also added the following for ION CamLOCK: http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=479268 CamLOCK to Garmin Quarter-turn mount http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=479277 CamLOCK to Contour T-Rail mount As well as LH Picatinny and RH Picatinny mounts for the paintball enthusiasts. |
