The Ultimate Smartphone Mount

The Ultimate Smartphone Mount lets you easily attach your smartphone to an existing tripod! 

This is a print in place model with only two parts. There are two versions of each model with different clearances between the slides: 0.2mm and 0.5mm. If you are using a large model, have issues with retraction or your machine is not so well calibrated then consider using the 0.5mm version.

Print the model as shown in the pictures. No support is needed although you may consider some brim around the base of the hot shoe if printing the XCD variant.

VARIANTS:

NUT

• Has a slot for 1/4" threaded nut • Refer drawing for size • Use 'NUT-INSERT' as a cover

BLANK

• Deliberately does not include any method of attachment • You need to model the hot shoe that suits your tripod and join it to the tripod mount • This is the best version in terms of usability • Also available in .step for easy editing • Don't forget to share your specific remix so others can enjoy it too

THREADED

• A 1/4" inch thread is modeled into the base of the mount • This will let you direct fix to the tripod • Be aware that the 1/4" thread can be challenging to print due to the fine detail • Only print if you know your printer can achieve this level of detail

XCD

• The tripod mount (hot shoe) is modelled into the adapter • It's modelled to suit this tripod here https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/xcd-3-way-swivel-head-tripod-large
