What are the mounting options for the OP with the DJI accessory mount so that the display faces towards the operator instead of facing outwards?  WIth a regular gopro style backpack strap mount, it would mean the OP LCD screen would be facing outwards...

You can use some of the GoPro extensions to turn it around. Also iShoxs makes some flexible rods coated in rubber that you could just twist.

With the standard mount that would be very complicated and probably need an whole lot of twists and bents with GP stuff to make it so. I think the best thing you can do is get a mount where you put the bottom in with some thread in it. There are several brands that provide one (skyreat for instance)

There are many mounts available for the Pocket that have a 1/4 x 20 thread.

That, and a Gopro to 1/4 x 20 adaptor will do the trick.

Follow up on El Diabolico's lead, I found this:

That's a good one I have it and I forgot to mention it... getting older I guess lol

The only problem with all the tripod mounts available now, is that they are following the shape of the OP, therefore they cannot be reversed.

Actually, the plastic tabs on the tripod mount work both ways, I guess one can simply attach the Osmo looking the normal way if clearance is no issue, otherwise any ball joint or extension will do.

The set up in my first post will allow the OP to face either direction, depending on whether it is offset to the right or left.

Not sure if I would trust this mount to hold the OP snug... if it loosens up the OP will come sliding off

Nice looking mount, but it seems to run into the same issue with not being able to easily mount on a regular gopro backpack strap mount without modifying the mounts to have the LCD screen facing towards the user?
I wonder if these are currently available now to purchase and if anyone has seen or used these in action to comment on it?

Got to be just a little creative. This would make the adjustment:

Where do you live?

Here, in Bangkok, there are countless places that sell GoPro accessories, both GoPro brand and 3rd party.

Here's an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/TZN-S03-U ... ywords=gopro+mounts

I use this setup, to mount my OP at my backpack strap, it works pritty well and you can mount the OP facing forward, or rearward!
