Hotshoe-mountable holder for Arduino Uno

thingiverse

A carrier plate designed for attaching an Arduino Uno (revision 2) to a camera's standard hot shoe mount is available. This holder matches the layout of an Arduino Uno and fits into the usual hot shoe mounting point, typically used for flash devices. Additionally, it includes an extension for holding a 9V battery. The carrier plate can be used when connecting an Arduino to a camera, such as building remote controls or similar devices. Printed using a MakerBot Replicator with black ABS and standard raft and support, the holder should ideally have the hot shoe side on top during printing. To ensure a proper fit in the camera, it may be necessary to sand the hot shoe side. The adapter can also be pressed into the hot shoe for similar results (some ABS may come off if it's slightly too high). To attach the Arduino to the carrier plate, screws with a diameter of 2.5mm and a depth of 5mm are required. Lastly, the battery can be secured using a rubber band. The Rhinoceros source file is available for download in case any adjustments are needed.
