There are several chain link fence camera mounts, but none worked exactly as I wanted, so I created my own. I needed a GoPro mount that I could use to hold my camera on the fence to record and stream my son's little league games.
This one is similar to the $100 GameChanger Fence Mount.
My fence mount holds onto the chain link with bungees, and that helps absorb shock when the ball hits the fence. Additionally, once this holder is mounted to the fence, the GoPro arm will adjust left/right and up/down, so that you can position it between the links so that the wire doesn't cut into your picture.
I designed this to print without the need of any brims or supports. The only part that I had some trouble with is the GoPro holder - the cutout for the hex nut doesn't totally hold it's shape, so to keep it from cracking, I just used my heat insert gun to press the hex nut into the groove. The benefit is that the nut won't accidentally push out and get lost.
I printed in PLA for my testing and it works great - if you are going to be using it in direct sunlight, you may prefer PETG or ASA.
Very minor assembly required - I have added pictures to show each of the steps. Only a few additional parts are needed:
- Series 20 5mm sliding T-nut

Or, if you are near a Home Depot and want a smaller quantity:

and

To assemble, insert the hex nut into the GoPro holder (see my note above about heat insert).
Next, place the T-nut in the channel (flat side up) and apply a small amount of CYA glue to the grooves. Place the T-nut cage into the grooves and apply pressure until the glue has fully dried. Move the T-nut several times to ensure that glue doesn't seep out of the grooves and stick the nut to the plastic.
Once that is dry, put the M5 washer on the threads of one of the GoPro thumbscrews and use that to attach the GoPro holder to the T-nut. This is your left/right and up/down adjustment.
Lastly, put the GoPro on the holder and attach the bungees to the 4 holes. Find a chain link fence and attach, then adjust the camera placement to keep the fence links out of your video.
Let me know if there are any changes you would like me to make. I would love to see pictures of this mount in the wild, if you would post them here. Thank you!
