Designing In Fusion 360
I modelled all the parts in Fusion 360 using a GoPro 3-Way Tripod Mount as a start point to minimize the amount of 3D printing needed for something like this to function and the tripod mount is a much stronger material than can be produced by FDM printing. I also wanted both designs to be collapsible and to sit comfortably on the wearers shoulder when not in use, so I designed a small adapter that would allow for the Tripod Mount to attach to a padded GoPro Backpack Strap Mount - enabling each prop to fit onto any backpack. There are a few external wires that can easily be zip-tied up or placed inside some cable housing to lead the electronics and battery into the backpack.
