In this article, the author of the YouTube channel "George Kosilov" wants to share with you the idea of making a safety rope for GoPro cameras and their analogues in order to eliminate the loss of the camera in motion.
Materials
- Clothesline
- Toothpick or carnation
- Second glue.
Instruments, used by the author.
- Scissors.
Manufacturing process.
This rope has no knots, and has an aesthetic appearance.
How to use it? Take the case from the camera, make a loop, and insert it into the bracket. We put on the camera body here.
A very simple mount, you can deploy it in one direction, in the other direction - no difference.
At the same time, the camera moves, and from here it will not go anywhere.
For the second part of the rope, you can use a carabiner, fasten for something.
The carbine does not fit - you can take the mount with a double-sided tape, just fasten the loop, and stick the mount somewhere.
Also, in such a simple way we tie a knot, here we align, tighten the loop.
As a result, we have a knot that is self-tightening and will not untie.
Then we dress for example on a suction cup, and tighten.
You can use the suction cup on a standard bolt mount, and just as fasten with a bolt, stick the suction cup to something.
Further option - the knot is easily untied, for example, motorcycle or bicycle helmets.
They have a lot of ventilation holes, for example, a motorcycle has a hole in the visor where you can put it in such a way to tighten the loop.
If the camera is installed here upstairs, then we simply make such a short rope, and fasten in this way.
Either the camera hangs on the side, you can also fix it here. This is a guarantee that if the camera falls off, we will hear how it will knock on the helmet.
In the same way, you can put it on through the frame of the bicycle, and the like. The knot is self-tightening.
There are a lot of options for fastening, you can also make absolutely any length of insurance.
A beautiful rope, and it costs a penny - this is an ordinary linen rope worth $ 1 per 20 meters.
How to make it? The author has a rope of a different color, and the author needs to cut 20 centimeters more than the length that is needed.
The length is not important for the author, he cut such a piece. Next, we need to extend the core that is inside this rope. We don’t need it anymore, we need the shell itself.
Now we take a toothpick, or cloves, and insert it inside, melt the tip with a lighter. It should be a sharp tip.
We measure the length, and in this place we begin to stick the tip of the rope into the shell.
We pull it further, carefully, so as not to damage the fibers of the rope. We got such a thing neatly by leveling everything, one loop must be made with a diameter of a finger.
Here you need to either drip superglue, for example, the author did it this way. This is done so that the end does not come out, although this is also a self-tightening knot. The simplest option is with super glue, but you can either sew it with a thread or fasten with a stapler.
We pull out the same end, and just cut it off, level it. We got a loop that will not loosen and will not come apart because it is glued with super-glue. It is better to make the second loop bigger so that it can be tied in such a knot.
Here is such a simple but effective option for the manufacture of safety ropes for cameras proposed by the author!
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!
