Camera mount

A simple but stable 2-axis mount for attaching smaller cameras (e.g. C-mount) with UNC or M6 thread. If there is no thread on the camera body, as is the case with many webcams, this can also be simply clamped using an extension and thus fixed securely and stably to the mount. If you want to attach your smartphone, you can do this with the smartphone extension that is also provided.

The following are required for the mount:

• 3D-printed components (with webcam and smartphone extension if required)
• One M4 nut and M4x20 screw
• One M6 nut and M6x12 screw

More information on use, printing and assembly can be found here in the video!

Download and accessories

All components were printed with 20% infill density and without supports. The models are orientated so that this is not necessary. A brim adhesion layer was used for printing.

Accessories

• The table stand shown in the pictures is available here.
• The mini telescope is available here.
