(reposting a question by Dani S from our Kickstarter) -- of course, it depends on a lot of things!
I'm thinking -- the considerations are:
- weight
- cost
- complexity (ease of building/fixing)
- portability (does it pack down for transport)
- stability in the wind
- crash-proofness
- waterproofing
- ...?
There are LOTS of solutions for this posted at https://publiclab.org/wiki/photo-rig -- but in particular, what are very lightweight ways of doing this, since the new Mini Balloon Kit is designed for cameras <100g, and a heavy enclosure could easily double that?
For starters, let's share some photos of different ways to do this!
I was just looking at this design by two girls doing the high altitude ballooning. I like their triangular base and was thinking of a popsicle stick version. https://www.geekwire.com/2017/sisters-plan-stratospheric-eclipse-balloon-mission-lego-lady-fly/

Here is an easy camera rig you can build yourself.
A parts list and complete instructions for making one are in this research note: https://publiclab.org/notes/cfastie/07-05-2017/a-sweet-way-to-attach-a-camera-to-a-kite-or-balloon-line
