Camera stand adapter for official raspberry pi zero cases

thingiverse

I like official Raspberry Pi Zero case, that comes often with a Zero Kit. But I had no clue, how to use the camera lid in realistic scenario. For my babycam project I liked the idea of reusing that cases. My answer is an adaptor that fits on standard camera stands. And - as a bonus - offers the possibility to add 3mm infrared LEDs. You need a additional non-metric nut, that fits for the typical camera stands. If you don't have a metal one, you could print one from here thing:2501430. After several pre-designs I figured out, that three LEDs provide enough extra light to fit my needs. You could just connect three in serial and connected directly to +5V, but I added a mosfet in side the case to make the LEDs controllable. The final design(0_4) comes with a cable guide to hold the plugged in micro-USB-cable and a the optional cable for the microphone.
