Most important changes:, - Screw-mechanism instead of the snapping mechanism (details see below), All functions together:, , Screw-Mechanism for a complete protection and a stable mounting:, With version 1 there was a snapping mechanism which was also responsible for the name. The mechanism was very easy to use, but has proven to be not as secure as i wanted it to be. There have been crashes reported where the front plate just flew off, which drastically reduces the safety of your GoPro. The search was long for the best mounting option, but finally a screwing solution has proven to be best. By using specially designed knurled screws, the GoPro can be removed just as easy on the field as with the snapping mechanism, and no tools are needed. There is no open side, which means the GoPro is completely safe inside and can't fall out. Also you do not need any rubber or zip-tie to close it., :, The housing comes with everything you need to install one of the widely available replacement lenses (for the skeleton-housing). It does not need to be glued in, but instead is being hold perfectly tight by 3 nylon screws. This way the lens can be used in different front-plates and/or housings., :, By using 3 countersunk screws and some of the multiple mounting holes, the housing can be mounted very flexible on almost anything., :, "Snap" can be easily installed/uninstalled on the Eyefly frames. This way you can quickly change between different cameras if needed., The special thing: The GoPro can be mounted, so that the lens indeed is really in the middle of the frame, not "a bit" tending to one side (which looks stupid on video)., :, The front-plate allows the usage of different front-plates for different use-cases. The front-plate included in the standard housing is made for installing just the GoPro and nothing else. By using the, A short mounting manual::, 1) Put together "dry", without glueing, to make sure you've got everything right (including GoPro!),
"Snap" is a GoPro-housing, which offers a perfect protection of your GoPro against crashes / external force. With it's light weight and vast mounting options it is a lot more practical to use compared to for example the Skeleton case that comes with the GoPro. You can either mount it directly to your copter/plane, or use some kind of dampener against vibrations.
After the classic housing has been successfully used by hundrets of model pilots in over 18 countries for almost a year, it was time for an upgrade.
- big increase in mounting options
- optional available lens protection is mounted from the back
- form factor improved for an even better locking in of the GoPro
- design of the parts slightly changed, so it is hard to put it together in a wrong way
Due to this the housing is extremely resistant, i actually could stand on it (80kg) without a problem.

2) Let glue (Cyanoacrylate-based / CA) run into the edges and let it dry
3) Push the 2 Polyamid nuts into their place in the top plate (you can secure them with glue as well, though this is not needed)
3) Cut foam rubber to fitting pieces and glue them to the inside, so that the GoPro sits tightly
