iPad Camera Kit

cults3d

I designed this iPad camera kit to be used with the Sprint Timer App to record photo finishes at athletic meets. There are both vertical and horizontal mount designs, although Sprint Timer only supports vertical orientation. The kit supports iPad version 2, 3 and 4, and includes a lens hood, fold out screen shade, and tripod mount (with anti-twist pin support). This design has gone through several iterations. The tripod mount features triangulated braces between the base plate and the device, providing a solid mount, free from flex and twist. The lens hood shades the lens from stray sunlight at the front, and the screen shade makes the screen easier to read in direct sunlight. The iPads version 3 and 4 are slightly thicker than the iPad 2, so there are two versions of the kit to accommodate these differences.
