The Mini VX™ LF is a VX1000-inspired, 3D-printed action camera cage designed for skate filmers who want the classic top-handle camcorder feel in a larger, stronger, and more balanced format.

Built as the long-format version of the original Mini VX™, it brings a more planted, camcorder-style balance while still using modern action cameras.

Compatible with GoPro, DJI Action, and Insta360, the Mini VX™ LF uses the universal 2-prong GoPro mount for a simple, durable setup built for street skating and park filming.

A longer body, added mass, rear 1/4-20 mounting point for wireless remote controls, and a slide-out accessory compartment with cable passthroughs make it ideal for longer follow lines and daily skate sessions.

Designed, 3D-printed, finished, and assembled by Mark Andrew, the Mini VX™ LF is a small-batch skate filming rig that stays true to the VX look — just in a more robust long-format build.

The Mini VX™ LF 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.

The LF takes the same skate-first foundation as the original Mini VX™ and pushes it further with a longer, heavier body for improved balance and control.

Every detail comes from time spent filming skating — parks, streets, DIY spots, tight fisheye lines, and full sessions behind the camera. What you get is a VX-style handle, added balance, and a tough 3D-printed construction built for the realities of skate filming.

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.

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.
