How I Mount the 360 Cameras on My Drones
I get asked pretty often how I mount 360 cameras on my drones securely. It’s understandable, figuring out how to keep the camera out of harms way while simultaneously creating a good way to give the camera an unobstructed view all the way around, so I just wanted to snap a couple pictures and show my setup.
The key part to this setup is an adaptor that goes from “GoPro mount” to 1/4″ thread. 1/4″ thread is the standard camera threading that’s on pretty much everything except a GoPro, including the Insta360 OneX and other Insta360 series cameras.
Thus, to complete my setup, you need the following items:
- Gopro sticky mount
- GoPro mount shoe
- GoPro screw
- GoPro to 1/4″ thread adaptor with locking ring
- Camera of your choice
Hope this helps everyone that’s trying to mount these cameras on their quads. If you’re considering buying an Insta360 OneX and want to support me, please consider using any of the above affiliate links. If you use the Insta360 affiliate, you will receive some extra goodies with your package!
thank you. i look forward to using my new camera i bought using your link!
Have you ever used a GoPro Fusion on an FPV Drone? I bought one recently and realized that the camera is bulky/heavy and hard to mount once I received it. I did some questionable mounting and was stressed the entire flight…
Any recommendations for mounting this camera on my quad before I potentially return it?
Btw, the quad i’m using is shown here:

Quick question. Do you fly with the insta360 one x as shown in your pics? Or do you move the angle of the camera, so it sees the ground? Or do you have any pics of how it’s flown/recorded using the insta360 one x?
