Description

PDF

Based off the design of the Universal Grip (innie) from Mechanism (formerly known as Deckmate).

You can use this with a ¼-20 screw to add a mount point for the Mechanism ecosystem. 

I personally use this to mount a portable monitor that is held by a telescoping tablet bracket onto a Mechanism Claw Grip that clamps onto my camera tripod. 

The robust version adds additional walls around to help counter the weakness caused by layer lines. When I used the locking version of the Mechanism Outie (like you'd find on the GoPro Mount), it broke the lip off when it locked.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  • Added hole in center to allow ¼-20 screw to pass through and countersink 
  • Robust version adds additional walls around the ledge area to improve strength and durability to counter layer-line weakness
