Anker Battery Mount for Monopod

thingiverse

Although my original battery setup had been working perfectly for me with no issues, I now wanted a lighter and smaller battery with more power that could be placed right alongside the camera itself. This would allow the battery to extend along with the camera without needing a long charge cable. Once I decided on the battery (Anker PowerCore+ Mini 3350mAh), the only thing left was coming up with a way to mount this battery to the monopod itself. The requirements I wanted were for the mount to attach and detach easily from the monopod arm as well as ease of placing the battery onto the mount. I found that my new mount design, which I 3D printed, has met my requirements and exceeded my expectations as it has proven itself successfully out on the water. As a bonus, I've added a second similar design for those using camera mounting systems made of one inch PVC.
