Hello NS!
I´m investigating the need of a new GoPro mount as a project for enginering school. The main focus is to find gaps in todays range of products, and therefore I´m not considering the quality of existing mounts.
So, have you discovered a way to mount your GoPro, which isn´t possible due to the mounts?

Basically every mount you can think off is possible to get, there are websites that print gopro mounts in 3D. I know someone who has acces to a proffesional 3D printer and it works great. I cant remember the website and dont know how the process works etc but google is your friend.

Yeah i know, and that is why I am asking for the mounts that I cannot think of. I have access to a 3D-printer as well and it would be sick to make an actual prototype!
Anyhow, it is really more about finding a need than actually making something and hope it will be useful.

Backpack chest strap mount.. So you wont need a whole harness but you can put the mount on your backpack chest strap.. Make it with wide enough contact points to be stable but not to big..

I think they should include an attachment to mount it on a tripod or a skate handle

That would require it to be integrated into a helmet, which means a different helmet, not a different mount
