Samyang 10mm F2.8 ED AS NCS CS Tripod Bracket

thingiverse

Now I am proud to be part of the WA lens user group that makes me feel great :)\nAfter running initial tests and taking pictures, I discovered a small disadvantage related to my PEN EP 5's relatively small camera size:\nThe absence of a tripod mount, which is common in heavier lenses, was disappointing.\nAlthough WA lenses aren't typically mounted on tripods, a tripod can be necessary for night shots or multi-step panoramic photos. To overcome this, I decided to develop a nodal point sled further ; )\nThe lens isn't light at 620 grams, so I thought it would be a good idea to carry the camera with the lens and distribute the weight evenly.\nThe MFT version comes with an extending tube that fills the gap between the short DSLR version. This tube has enough space to create a bracket around.\nI've attached the additional materials for your reference:\n2x hex-socket screws (M3x40) plus 2 nuts (M3)\n1 tripod adapter (1/4" UNC - 3/8" UNC).\nWhen selecting these parts, make sure they have multiple thread turns and a sturdy neck. There's a lot of cheap, low-quality equipment available online that isn't worth the investment.\nYou'll need the following tools for assembly:\n3mm drill bit\n3/8" - 16 UNC taper (if you're in a metric country like I am, you can find this taper online at a lower price)\nThe final assembly process is as follows:\nDrill out the screw holes to make it easy to insert the screws.\nCut the thread on the tripod-screw hole. Be careful not to damage the surrounding area while drilling.\nAssemble the two parts by tightening the screws until the bracket is secure without rotating around. Leave a small gap between the bracket and the aperture ring to avoid obstructing it.\nOnce assembled, you can attach the tripod plate and enjoy using your WA lens with a tripod..\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n RepRap\n \n Printer: \n Prusa Mendel\n \n Rafts: \n Doesn't Matter\n \n Supports: \n No\n \n Resolution: \n 0.2 mm layer / min 3 shells
