Camera Rig for 123D Catch

thingiverse

This wooden camera rig is designed for use with Autodesk's 123D Catch software, which generates detailed 3D models from photos. The rig helps optimize photo angles by allowing the camera to spin around an object at a constant height while the object remains stationary. It can also be adjusted vertically for top and bottom shots. Construct the dowel-and-plank frame using three 36" long 1" dia dowels and a 12" plank, along with wooden hardware and printed parts. Assemble the L-brace, 3-brace, 2-braces, 1-braces, collar, flanges, shaft collars, camera ring, platform, and (optionally) an extension arm. Secure components using #8 screws, hex bolts, wing nuts, and lock washers. The rig breaks down quickly for transport and requires casters for easy movement. To print the necessary parts, enable support material for the L-brace and collar but not the other pieces. Follow the step-by-step assembly instructions provided. If more height is needed for under-object shots, attach an extension arm between the adapter ring and camera platform.
