I want this so bad for my Action 5 Pro… think something like this will ever come out for it?

Saw this awesome grip/cage setup for a different cam and can’t stop thinking about how cool it would be to have something like that for the Action 5 Pro. Anyone think there’s a chance something similar gets made?

Or you can simply do this! :brain:

Is that like a case with extra batteries? I use the SmallRig cage, it’s solid but kinda heavy :sweat_smile:

Yeah, I’m mainly after it for the grip. I know action cams are meant to be mounted, but sometimes it’s just easier to hold it like a regular cam and this setup looks so comfy for that.

Why???

Because it’s awesome for extra battery life and just feels way better to hold.

Extra battery for what and ergonomics? Bro it’s an action cam, mount it like it’s meant to be used…

Oh right, because you don’t need it, no one else should want it? Gotcha.

Yeah because it’s silly trying to turn an action cam into a DSLR or whatever. Use stuff for what it’s made for.

Cool story. So you’re just here to bash people for wanting to customize their own gear? Why does it bug you so much what someone else does with their camera?

Keep not understanding buddy.

Why though? Action 5 Pro already has pretty great battery life lol.

absolutely

The cage gives you better grip and a bit of extra protection too.

If someone 3D printed this, would it even be strong enough depending on the material?

Dude I had the exact same thought for my GoPro! :joy:
Hope you get it made—happy tinkering and have a blessed day!

Wait… what accessory even is this exactly?

Looks like just a grip, right?

If so, this would be super easy to 3D print.
