Simple Small Tripod for Webcam

thingiverse

I required a very compact tripod to support my Logitech c920 while it faced my printer. So far, I've been holding it in place with a failed print, but that's not the most stable setup. (Check out "Before.jpg") Other tripods are much more complex than what I need - I don't require adjustments or a large size, I just need something to keep a solid base and screw in. I also don't want to deal with an excessive amount of hardware for this purpose. So I designed a solution that has a very short base, a relatively small footprint, overhangs less than 45 degrees, and requires minimal hardware. A single 1/4-20 hex head bolt inserts from the bottom, and a single 1/4-20 nut to secure it in place. Then the camera screws onto the bolt. It's straightforward and done. Please don't use this for any large cameras, because I don't want any dead DSLRs haunting me. This is specifically designed for a webcam.
