I was looking for a way to attach myXiaomi YI (with the"standard" GoPro-style clip) to my backpack. — This is what I came up with.

No other parts (velcro, screws, etc.) are needed and the whole construction is - at least in my opinion - unobstrusive enough to stay on the backpack.

I remixed Ivanlings flat clip into a mounting plate that goes under the webbing that many backpacks have on top of their shoulder straps. (Thanks for the inspiration, McAlex!)

You can adjust the length, width and height of the plate, as well as the width and depth of the channel for the strap to make it fit onto your own backpack. :)

Example recorded using this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRpvvKygfVM

Notes:

The tabs that actually lock the camera clip in place need to be printed with supports. The "leftovers" from these supports make for quite a tight fit at the beginning. This should (in my case it did) get better after inserting and removing the camera clip a couple of times.

It's also a good idea to print with a relatively high infill. I used 70%.
