I'm building a SkyJib 8 version 2 at the moment and wanted to mount an arm/pole pointing up to the sky to one of the booms, so I can mount a GoPro3 to this pole as a FPV camera and have it point slightly down to see the SkyJib frame in the shot so I can judge distance from obstacles easier.

I found this..

But is for square booms so I'm trying to source something similar or the parts to adapt this so I can mount it on the SkyJib cylinder booms.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is your SJ8 in the x or + configuration. Mine is x and as such there is no "center" to mount a cam. So I just put it on the top of the "crash cage". Plenty wide to judge the souroundings.

I foresee a problem if you have an arm sticking out so tall. Vibration.
I have a stick format cam (Fly Cam One) with a bicycle handle bar mount clamped over 2 pcs of rubber sheets on one of the arm. And I still get jello. And the blades are balanced.

Now i have to find a place in the FC mount plate where its mounted on vib dampeners.
