Camera Mount for large skateboard

thingiverse

I designed this for my skateboard so I can attach an old smartphone to record my ride. The top piece is meant to be printed separately, allowing the thread to be printed vertically without support, then slide tightly into place and glued if desired, but it might not be necessary. The recording quality may shake as this isn't attached directly to the board itself; I wanted to keep the camera flat while still showing the board bend on turns. I used an axle diameter of around 24mm with an angled edge to add strength, which is built into the clamp to prevent it from swiveling around. Note: The photo shown is of the original version, which has a thinner top bar compared to the newer uploaded design. Also, the original had nut holes that were difficult to install, but I've rotated the 8mm nut position so it cuts into the long arm piece better - although I haven't reprinted to test this yet. New: The main-V2 file is for the new main base arm, which has a 45-degree angle back rather than being vertical, making it less likely to be kicked. Ensure you have thick walls to secure the weight on top; at least four to five walls thick or 1.8mm and make the infill at least 40%. Disclaimer: The skateboard and mobile/clamp are not included, as they're sold separately. This requires no AA batteries nor a mortgage.
