BaCaSta - Band Cam Stabilizer

thingiverse

Introducing a miniature camera stabilizer that effectively suppresses all rotational-induced image blurring, this compact device provides an efficient alternative to heavy and bulky full-sized tripods. Designed for hikers and partygoers, the H-shaped structure screws onto any camera's bottom, featuring four eyelets for stabilization points. Each eyelet is connected to a 60cm wire loop, allowing for adjustable pitch and enhanced stability, reducing vertical smearing in images. The loops are attached to low-tensility bands that form adjustable height and roll loops, further stabilizing the camera and minimizing circular blurring around the image center. Yaw instabilities and horizontal smearing are compensated using the camera's neck strap. Prototype handling feels good, with an overload protection added to prevent eyelet breakage. Performance is yet to be quantified, but features include compactness, lightweight design, rotation stabilization on all axes, quick-adjustable pitch, and unobtrusive mounting.
