Its holiday season, time to dust off the old or new GoPro and do some filming. Each time I use my GoPro and find myself in a new situation I think to myself I wish I had a mount for that.

This time, it was a flat metallic surface. Sure you can use a suction cup mount but they are usually bulky. I needed something small and light weight. Hence this design. Its very simple, it has the standard three prong GoPro mount on top. The nut hole fits the standard GoPro nut and naturally it works with original GoPro attachments.

GoPro Flat Surface Magnetic Mount

I have two versions of this design, one has the flat base and you can punch holes in it to suit your magnets size, or two where I have used 3x 20mm x 2mm round neodium magnets.

If you are printing the second version, depending on your result, however should ensure that the magnets have nice snug fit and you will not need to glue them in.
