Weather was crap for a few days so decided to design & build a follow cam (chase cam) wing for my cheapo Safari P.O.C. camera.
It's a bit heavy but off a B Line point didn't seem to bother the wing at all.
The clip may be redesigned as I left it on and yesterday it managed to tangle in in an adjacent line. I guess it can be removed when not used.
Also the release would happen if the front dragged along the ground and hooked a weed or the wing came up snapping it really quickly.

The support brackets will bend and pop out if stressed so they won't break (PLA is brittle!) and also aids in folding it up to pack around if needed.
All in all I think this came out pretty good. I may post this on thingiverse.com once the bugs are out
Cheers!
