I’m trying to mount an action cam to my FAST airsoft helmet, and I’ve got the j-hook baseplate already installed, but with just the baseplate the camera’s FOV is still way too high.

I cannot bring the camera lower than this using just the baseplate, so I thought I’d just buy an extension that will let me swivel the camera further down, but I tried searching for it and couldn’t find anything.

This is how I’ve got the camera set up now, and this is how I want it to be. I need the green part, which is just a male-to-female extension part, but I don’t exactly know how to search for it, as anything I try comes up blank. I know this part exists, because I’ve seen it a few times before, and of course right as I try to search for it, it conveniently disappears as if it had never existed. Can anyone help me out?

EDIT: Thanks for the answers! Simply searching “gopro mount extension” was enough to find what I needed. I feel stupid now.

    This might be something to ask Amazon’s Rufus AI about. I’ve actually had success describing things like this and it finding what I’m looking for on Amazon.

    You may also check Thingiverse or another 3D printing website for parts for “airsoft helmet GoPro” and if you can find it, like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799476 you can either search for similar terms on a site like Amazon or have this 3D printed by a friend or a shop or it might be your entry into 3D printing with your own printer to print this and other parts.
