Camera Plate Clamp and DIY Battery

thingiverse

Battery base and hand grip I designed for my Canon EOS-M, but it should work for any camera that can run on an 8.4 volt battery. You can use a dummy battery for your camera (I used this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4246527) to wire in the battery pack that slides and snaps into the base. You will also need an arca swiss style mounting plate to attach the camera (I used this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3574760). Use 1/4-20 (US not metric, sorry) bolts and nuts for the clamp. It's a snug fit, but is very secure. The rod mount for the bottom of the base will alloy you to add15mm rods to the rig. I designed this part but haven't printed or used it yet. If you do, please share and let me know how it works! You can also add an arca swiss plate to the bottom of this or the main base I used 4x 18650 lithium ion batteries wired in 2S, 2P configuration, with a battery protection board https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SLQQFSV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=thingiverse09-20 Please use caution when working with lithium ion batteries! If you don't know what you're doing with them they can catch fire or explode. The handles that attach to the sides are optional. If you use them I recommend using epoxy to attach them permanently as the mounts are pretty weak. Use the same file for both sides, just mirror one. The models that have the word "inset" have space to put wooden accents, or whatever other material you'd like. Part of this group I made for my camera here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4929862
