Oculus Rift Camera Tripod Gripper

thingiverse

This is for people who want to set up Oculus Rift VR sensors/cams on tripods. Print using any material (PLA worked well for me), recommend 3 perimeters, 5% infill. Vitamins: 1/4 inch / 20 UNC nut to mate with the tripod's screw M3 x 10mm bolt to lock the sensor in place A friction material may be necessary, put between the bottom of the mount and the tripod shoe. This can be a smear of hot glue gun, a fat rubber elastic band, a piece of latex balloon, etc., if your tripod shoe doesn't have any rubber material. Once printed, wedge the sensor stand into the two fixed arms and snap it into the third arm. The fit should be tight as it will deform the sensor's underside foam to prevent unintentional rotation. Then insert M3 bolt through the third arm's hole and thread it through the wedge piece on the inside. M3 nut is not necessary. You may need to clean up the M3 hole on the third arm with a drill.
