Remix of weighted base for Logitech C270 tripod

thingiverse

I tried printing the original camera base in different orientations, but every setup required too much support material. I couldn't achieve a clean look after removing the supports, and most of the design seemed tied to managing cables and providing an outrigger for the camera. But, strangely, even well-designed prints showed long lengths of cord, which didn't make sense to me. I questioned why I'd need a rest for the camera, so I designed a simpler base that required no supports at all. This new base allows the camera to be mounted in two different directions. To add some weight and stability, I filled mine with ball bearings left over from another project. The cover is just pressure-fitted, but if you're worried about the weights coming loose, you can glue it on. I'm not sure why I'd need to remove the bearings again, but anything's possible, I suppose.
