Pretty Ultimate Coolant-Resistant Action Camera Enclosure (for GoPro and Yi cameras)
After months of work and dozens of design revisions I think I'm finally "done" with my action camera enclosure so I'm finally willing to show it!
All three versions are 78mm wide (~3.125") by 56.75mm tall (~2.25"). The lengths vary, but they are roughly 54mm long (~2.125") including the thumb screws.
I forgot to mention that the button in the 4K+ enclosure (raw metal) is an old prototype. The up-to-date design is very similar to what is in the GoPro Hero 5/6 (chartreuse) enclosure.
Of course, it doesn't have to be placed right in the middle of the splash zone; it'll clear an occasional drop of coolant just as well as the deluge that is happening in the last third of this video. In the future I plan to set up a couple/few cameras to record different angles.
I have some interest in making these for sale, but I think I should mention that each enclosure has around $100-worth of parts and materials in it (more than $50 worth of glass alone (30 and 50mm Gorilla Glass windows from Edmund Optics)). And that's just the cost to get the materials to my door, there's also pertineer 45 minutes of machine time, however much setup time it takes to do 5+ different parts in 13+ setups, anodizing time or cost, shipping, QA, and profit to consider (probably other stuff too).
All video is played back at 1x.
This was designed and CAM-ed entirely with Fusion 360. Thanks for the awesome (and free) software, Autodesk! This video file is 54.4GB. Thanks for the awesome (and free) video hosting, YouTube!

Welp, I found a couple additional edits that I would have liked to have made to this video, but Windows is being a bigger piece of shit than usual and is making that impossible for me right now.
