Canon V6x18 Lens Mount

thingiverse

this is a mount for an old Canon TV Lens. These models allow for securely holding the lens in this bracket and then be able to attach it to a tripod via standard 1/4" bolt. the tripod plate has a recess for a 1/4" nut to be sunk into it to allow for a strong connection. the rear upper and lower rear brackets are made to be bolted together with an M5x15 bolt with 2 washers, if you think you'll be taking these on and off often you might want M5x20 to make its a bit easier to take on and off. the front bracket is only a lower due to the rear having a notch to prevent the lens from leaving as long as its bolted. the curved hooks I put on there does allow for a rubber band or something else if needed. most of the weight of the lens without any cameras rests on this mount. the front and rear lower brackets just slide into the tripod bracket with a bit of effort included is the freecad source file, all of the important dimensions are in the spreadsheet and can be adjusted via that.
