filming from commander view

Post by JohnWhyte »

I'm looking at getting a gopro camera to go on my tanks but I'm not sure how would I be able to attach it to the tank as would the mount that it comes with will work or would I need to get another mount to attach it?

The mounts that come with the camera have nothing to clamp on to. One way around it is to glue neodyne magnets to the inside of the hull or turret, and some more to the camera or mount, and do it that way.

I went with the mobius and made a mount that will drop right onto any Tiger. If you want to see the video i can post it after work, or you might be able to find the thread I did. Even if you don't use the mobius it may still give you some ides.

This might help
