So I made two timers of the top design (the blue one that you have pictured). This did not work because there was not enough support, so both timers were bending and could not even turn. It wasn't a stable base. <br /><br />Just thought I would share my experience. I need to find something to use to in place of your black piece to have a more stable base.

You will need to modify the design of the bracket for the Hero three, the wifi button on the water proof case gets in the way, so the bracket will need to be a little bigger. Also, you can't have any extra weight, no lcd or battery back .... the unit will work best with a properly balanced light camera.<br />Good Luck .... send me a link when you have success!Getawaymomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695654931186932143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879200822065421886.post-74293828410025408172013-05-05T03:12:59.173-04:002013-05-05T03:12:59.173-04:00I forgot to Say, Thank you for your tutorials!
