Hello there Alex _ Leipzig. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Since this is a 3rd party accessory ( GoPro Mount ) for the DJI FPV. I hope that you will get the best recommendation from our fellow DJI co pilots who have used / purchased the said mount for the said DJI Drone. Just a reminder that DJI does not recommend you to your 3rd party accessories on your DJI Drones. These 3rd party accessories might affect the said DJI drone when in use. There is a possibility that these 3rd party accessories will be able work. However, since it's not tested by DJI we cannot guaranteed the stability of the said 3rd party accessory if it will work all the time with no issues and might void the warranty of the said DJI product. Thank you and fly safe always.

Alex, you’re attaching the equivalent of a medium sized trailer onto a small car. Think of the weight (probably 1/4 the weight of the drone) and all the aerodynamic drag forces that the camera has.

It’s gonna have issues.

I'm surprised it flies at all with that huge thing on top of it. I don't know why pilots are trying to do this, but it seems to be becoming a thing with the DJI drone lol. To me, it's the dumbest thing ever. If you need that level of video quality, It's much cheaper to get a regular FPV drone that's designed to fly with a GoPro...

Well people try to mount GoPros cause the video quality of the drone isn't the best: There is still space for software optimization (e.g set max ISO limit, more FPS options), but it would be even better if we had an 1 inch camera sensor option

Yea, as the camera just plugs in it would be good if they come out with a premium version as a option to buy and replace.

Why I never would have expected to see this as a question.  The FPV looks silly, but you managed to make it look so much more silly.

There is no solution. Depending on your altitude, or temperature of the day it's just a bad choice to make in those conditions.

It is a dumb decision to attach a gopro to the drone bec it is not meant to be flown with the extra weight.. The video quality should suffice for FPV flying. If you want better quality go fly a slowazz mavic.

If you must attach a better cam, you might as well go up a notch and put a dji ronin.

I´ve solved it only using different mount, which has four screws instead of two.

I don't know about the vibration issues, but i can tell you the video quality can be improved by a lot by just buying some aftermarket ND filters, or even color grading your own footage

I use the "small rig" mount on the dji fpv with the insta 360 one R camera.  It has 4 mounting screws and build quality is very solid.

I get a slight vibration during hovering only.  When the FPV is moving and flying, the vibration goes away.  I dont do any acro flying while the 360 camera is mounted.

The purpose of the secondary camera is to take photo's and video's of unique angle and a to achieve a 360* perspective.

Would you have a link to this mount? I’ve been searching for several hours now and thus like the best mount I’ve found so far.

I've ended up ordering one of these https://www.aerial-pixel.com/dro ... 2/category=59608367

Next time I'll get some TPU and print my own, once I find it again on Thingyverse

I have several of those but I couldn't get them to fix.  I have some type of helmet and skins on my drone and it was too tight. Will apply them once I switch to my backup which isn't until my original is completely destroyed (only about 15% damaged now).  If you can get those to screw into the holes, it will be good.

I’m hoping the TPU has some stretch, otherwise I’ve found an STL file for the thing which I’ll try printing, I’ve never printed tpu though.
