I created this huge post and then found out I can only share 2 links at a time. So I shortened it for just 1 piece for now. I will include all the additional stuff at a later time (custom camera mount with fans, power bank mount, parts list, etc.)
I know a few of you have been asking for one, I made a quick and dirty sunshade that fits on top of the cameras. It is held on by friction just like the cameras are held into the base. I have used it in a heavy downpour and it seems to help the cams stay dry. I haven’t used it in heavy sun yet, but mixed with the 2 USB fans, there shouldn’t be any issues. You may want to secure it with a band or something, but so far it hasn’t flown off. Only downfall to this style, is unless you are using the remote, you have to take the shade on and off to start and stop the cams. Not a big issue, but a small annoyance. The shade is NOT visible in the cams and it is sized JUST SMALL enough for those of us with smaller 150mmx150mm 3d printer beds.

Just a heads up on this shade/rig setup. I ran 2 Gamsod 4k/60 (at 4k60 as well) cams this weekend in 100 degree heat with the shade and my 2 little USB fans on their lowest setting and never had an overheat issue. Cams were running for an hour and a half each time. Seems to work great!
Hi, could you show me your whole setup? I’m looking for an example of a case to use my 2 Yi 4K+ cams. Thereby I also want to use fans for cooling, with enough space inside to storage also an powerbank.
Are you just looking for a photo of it put together or? I’ve actually updated my setup to where the fans are hooked up to the sunshade that goes on the top instead of being on a tray behind the cameras. It makes setup easier and faster. My power bank is not included in the tray it hangs off of the tripod in a baggie.
First of al I’m curious about how it looks like. A photo will do for now.
Do you have a pic of your setup? I have been using the stock mount which is great, but want to make something more permanent. We play in winter in Aus, so heat shouldn’t be an issue except during the trials.
This is what my rig looks like with the two GoPro 11s. The GoPros overheat much faster than the Gamsod cameras did but with this setup I’ve been able to run it in 95 plus degree weather for full 90 minute games.
