1/4 inch to hot shoe adapter

thingiverse

A quick hatchet job 1/4 inch to hot shoe adapter with a printed thread (the other one I found on here required a 1/4 inch nut which I didn't have on hand). I've used this to adapt a small camera tripod (Fotopro FY-583) to hold a Rode Videomic Pro hot shoe. Assuming it should work with all Rode videomic models. Should print in PLA with no support in the default orientation with no problems. The thread for this design was borrowed from wizprods adapter (this part was a bit beyond my lowly Tinkercad skills), the rest was derived from basic measurements. Managed to get the part to work on my first prototype, could probably be refined more, but left as is as it got the job done! The other printed thing in this photo is an mic extension cable tidy for Fotopro FY-583, which is a cheap 1m Tripod that makes for a great pairing with the Videomic, it can be set up quickly and packed away rather compact. Add a headphone extension cable (ie. 3.5mm mic) and you are good to go.

Use entirely at your own risk.
