The Mini VX™ is a VX1000-inspired, 3D-printed action camera cage designed for skate filmers who want the classic top-handle camcorder feel with the convenience of modern cameras.

Compatible with GoPro, DJI Action, and Insta360, it uses the universal 2-Prong GoPro mount to keep your setup simple and reliable.

Weighing just over 500g (about 1.1 lbs), the Mini VX™ delivers the familiar balance of a VX1000 in a compact rig built for street skating, park sessions, and daily filming.

The rear slide-out accessory compartment includes clean cable passthroughs, making it easy to charge your camera or connect an SSD while recording. The rig also features a compact top handle and multiple mounting points for lights, microphones, and phone monitoring.

Every Mini VX™ is designed, 3D-printed, finished, and assembled in-house — a small-batch skate filming rig built with precision and attention to detail.

The Mini VX™ is the standard, compact option. The Mini VX™ LF exists for filmers who already know they want more weight and balance.

The Mini VX™ and Mini VX™ LF share the same core design, camera compatibility, and VX-inspired feel. Both are built specifically for skate filming and designed around modern action cameras.

The difference comes down to size, weight, and balance.

The Mini VX™ is the more compact option — lighter, quicker in the hands, and ideal for daily sessions or skaters who want the smallest possible VX-style setup.

The Mini VX™ LF is the long-format version. It has a longer body, more mass, and a more planted camcorder-style feel. That extra size gives added balance and control during longer follow lines and full filming days, while still staying true to a skateboard-first setup.

Which should I choose?
Choose the Mini VX™ if you want the most compact VX-style rig. Choose the Mini VX™ LF if you want a more camcorder-like feel with added balance and presence.

The Mini VX™ is built specifically for skate filming — not vlogging rigs or gimbal setups. It’s designed around the cameras skaters actually use: GoPro, DJI Action, Insta360 and similar action cameras that can handle impact, fast motion, fisheye proximity, and run-and-gun follow lines.

Every detail comes from real skate sessions. The rig has been tested at parks, street spots, DIY builds, tight fisheye lines and long filming days. The result is a VX-style handle, balanced feel, and a durable 3D-printed construction made for the speed and unpredictability of skateboarding.

The Mini VX™ isn’t just a 3D-printed camera shell — it’s a purpose-built filming rig designed specifically for skateboarding and action sports.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Built for Skate Filmers

Designed around the way skaters actually shoot: low angles, fast movements, fisheye work, and quick directional changes. The Mini VX™ gives you the familiar top-handle feel of the VX1000 in a modern, compact form.

Supports the Cameras Skaters Really Use

Compatible with GoPro, DJI Action, and Insta360 — the action cameras that hold up to slams, impact, and fast motion.
(Not built around fragile gimbal vlog cameras.)

True VX-Style Handling

A balanced top handle and weight distribution that give you the classic VX sway, stability, and control for follow lines and close-up fisheye filming.

Functional, Not Just Aesthetic

The Mini VX™ features a real slide-out accessory bay with cable passthrough — perfect for charging, phone monitoring, SSD recording, mic receivers, and power banks.

Durable, Small-Batch Construction

Printed in PETG for strength and heat resistance, then hand-assembled and QC’d in California. Built to handle impacts, long sessions, and daily filming.

An Expanding Ecosystem

Works seamlessly with the Mini VX™ Vertical Phone Mount, hoods, threaded mounts, cold shoes, and other accessories — all designed to support skate filming, not vlogging.

Designed, Printed & Assembled by Mark

Every unit is made in-house:
hand-drawn concepts → CAD → test footage → 3D print → post-processing → assembly → QC.
Small-batch, personal, intentional.

Each unit is built by hand — see the process in How the Mini VX™ Is Made.

Made by a Skater for Skate Filmers

The Mini VX™ comes from someone who actually films skating — not from a factory, not from a hobbyist copying the look. It’s built from real use, real testing, and real sessions in the streets and parks.
