Mojave Using a Mojave 6S as a prototype GoPro camera mounting vehicle

[Yankeedoodle30]

Months ago, after receiving many answers from this forum, I determined the Mojave 6S SC Truck would be the best stable platform to build a series of prototype GoPro camera mounts, for filming not only the Mojave truck in action, along with other moving RC vehicles, as well as filming tracking shots of scale model dioramas. Some of the camera-mounts, for specific applications will utilize a 3-Axis Gimbal GoPro camera stabilizer.

The 1st mount I'm building is called an "outrigger" and is attached onto the rear bumper. The camera can be located on either side of the vehicle. For slow tracking shots, the camera can be extended out to a max. of 24 inches.

Taking it out for the 1st test run tomorrow . . . in the dirt. Will post some videos - if the camera survives. ha ha
Here is a shot of the camera's location for "extreme ground motion shots". This is why I have an aluminum housing for the GoPro.

Amazon.com. 25 bucks, such a deal. The perfect size to slip into the Mojave bumper cage.

Here is 80 seconds of footage from the 1st test of the GoPro outrigger mount. This was a "low speed" run with the camera extended ~ 5 in. from the body. I discovered I need to add a counter balance weight to the truck to offset the weight from the moment arm of the camera, which will be even greater when I extend the arm out to 10" or more. I also need to get some shots with the camera at different angles to the car as well as backwards looking shots. Very happy with these initial results, the GoPro internal stabilization is amazing!

You need to upload to any other social media and paste the link here. YouTube is the most common
