    GoPro and Foam Mounting Suggestions

    I just build one of Mikey's FPV V3 planes and now it is time to mount the GoPro. I would like to keep it in the protective case and use the self-adhesive mounting plates if possible. does anyone have any suggestions for mounting the GoPro to foam. I did not follow the plans and build it out of dollar tree foam board, I built it out of blue core or fan fold foam. Any and all suggestions welcome, please show pics if it is not straight forward.

    Use the mounting plates, but scrape off the adhesive tape and just hot glue them to the body of the plane. Some kind of strapping such a rubber bands, zip ties or velcro is probably also advisable. That camera is going to undergo alot of stress from the various forces pulling on it, particularly during takeoff, landing, and any aerobatic maneuvers you pull. Multiple securing points is advisable.

    Thank you for the advice... Does the hot glue stick to mount?
