Simple Overhead Camera Mount For Photo & Video

thingiverse

These feet are designed to securely hold 15mm rods, commonly used for camera rigs. I created this mount because I wanted a simple overhead camera rig for making YouTube tutorial videos that wouldn't take up much space and could easily be taken apart and stowed away when not in use. This is intended for smaller cameras and smartphones. Parts Used: Rails across the desk - I attached two of them together to give me a wide working space that spans almost my entire workbench. - SMALLRIG 16 Inches (40 cm) Black Aluminum Alloy 15mm Rod with M12 Female Thread, Pack of 2 – 1054 https://amzn.to/34NMAwn Rod connectors - To connect the two rods together - SmallRig Rod Connector with M12 Thread for 15mm Aluminum Alloy Rods (Pack of 2) - 900 https://amzn.to/2Sh3mRV Vertical Rails - I used 12" rails for the height.
