TBS Discovery PRO Gimbal Mounting Frame for a GoPro3/4 or equivalent without the use of Velcro Straps.
The Camera is being held by both friction and additionally by a Tab that clips into the right back side of the Camera next to the Battery Cover.
According to my own recent observation the Frame, with a Camera Inserted, can also prevent the Gimbal from being bend to Kingdom Kong in the event of a Crash as all three Components ( Gimbal, Frame & Camera ) will effectively turn into a rather sturdy Construction.
Preparation & Installation:- Remove the bottom Part of the Gimbal.
- Use some Electrical Tape to keep the IMU Cable in the center of the Corner - The Cable will later be held in place by the Tape and the Tape by the Frame allowing for carefree installation of the Camera.
- Insert the Frame into the Gimbal from the bottom - Depending on the accuracy of the 3D Print you may have to use Sanding Paper or a Hobby Knife to get a good fit.
- Reattach the bottom Part of the Gimbal.
- Insert Camera into Frame - The Camera needs to be flush with the Frame.
- Connect the GoPro Cable coming from the IMU to Camera.
Known Issues:
Depending on the 3D Print you may receive a Model that is rather tight or loose.
On a loose Model you may add a few layers of Electrical Tape between the Gimbal and the Frame causing the Frame to bend inwards and thus increasing friction between it and the Camera.
On a tight Model you may have to either sand down the inside of the Frame if it's a problem to insert the Camera in general or sand down/remove the Tab in the rear if you can't get the Camera to be inserted flush.
