Ceiling Tile Grid Camera Mount

thingiverse

I needed a way to mount a Logitech Mevo camera to a drop ceiling but not permanently. This mount will work for any camera / webcam that uses a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread. For both ends of the ball socket I used a 1/4 20 UND threaded insert Similar to these but miner were an older style: https://www.amazon.com/POWERTEC-QTI1002-Threaded-Insert-Woodworking/dp/B07NCNMDJN For the camera mount I used a cone point screw: https://www.amazon.com/LUORNG-Stainless-Hexagon-Socket-Headless/dp/B0BC1BSFTQ/ For the swivel joint on the X shaped part I had a bushing similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/12pcs-Brass-Press-Fit-Bushings-Ferrules/dp/B003VSJW66/ Final 1/4 20 bolt through the bushing to hold it all together. When hand tightened its very solid and does not move. I tested this with my DSLR and travel projector as well. Its a tight fit but still works. Could be adapted to a much larger size if needed to hold an array of things. Included the Fusion 360 CAD file to help make any edits.
