iPhone 5 / 5s Sunpak 7001 DX tripod mount

thingiverse

This is a sturdy iPhone 5/5s tripod mount tailored for use with a Sunpak 7001 DX tripod featuring a quick release base. It's likely compatible with other tripods as well, possibly requiring some adjustments to fit securely. The phone fits neatly into the mount which then locks firmly onto the tripod base using its handy trapezoidal quick-release mechanism. This ingenious accessory has breathed new life into this older tripod, extending its lifespan and preventing it from being discarded prematurely. One crucial feature that could be added is a relief cutout where the top lock button sits - unfortunately, I ended up needing to use a small file to carve out this area, but never got around to updating the design files.

With each iteration, I found opportunities for improvement, made necessary adjustments, and eventually produced a product that met my exacting standards.
