Arca Swiss small mount

thingiverse

I wanted a secondary Arca Swiss mount to secure the EF to EOS-M adapter on my tripod, ensuring all the weight wouldn't dangle unsupported from the camera. I scoured many models but found them excessively bulky for my taste, prompting me to design one myself. The new mount is compact since it mirrors the width of the adapter tripod mount anyway, making larger dimensions unnecessary. This allows me to retain the original mount on the camera while still utilizing one or the other depending on whether I'm using the kit lens or an adapted one. I printed the mount at 0.2mm with 50% infill for added robustness. While it might be overkill for smaller lenses, better safe than sorry, as this small piece won't waste much filament even with excess material. Note: For best results, print the mount upside down (rotate 180° on the X-axis) to eliminate the need for supports. The dovetail is positioned at a 45° angle, ensuring it will work seamlessly on most printers.
