BMCC tripod adapter for 3/8" screw

cults3d

I needed a way to attach my Blackmagic Cinema Camera to a tripod that had a 3/8" BSW thread, but the camera only came with a 1/4" BSW-UNC screw fitting. Since I couldn't rely on a plastic print for an adapter, I turned to a brass bush, which often comes with lightweight light stands or can be found easily on eBay. When paired with my printed base, it creates a stable adapter that holds the camera firmly in place. The brass bushes themselves are 13mm high and have a 1/4" thread on one end and a 3/8" tap on the other. I've included an STL file for reference purposes only, but I must emphasize that it's not recommended to use this design if you're printing with PLA or ABS material, as it may not provide sufficient durability. To prevent the camera from rotating on the plate, I designed a locating pin hole in the camera that fits snugly into an M5 screw thread. This ensures that the camera stays securely in place at all times.
