Canon EOS-M camera rig accessories

thingiverse

I combined a few different files I found on Thingiverse and made up a few of my own to make my own cinema rig for my Canon EOS-M with some wooden accents and an external battery option. Disclaimer: I'm not great at 3D modeling/printing, woodworking, electronics, or videography... Printing: The tolerances are pretty tight on some parts, so keep that in mind when slicing. The side handles are made with cold shoe mounts, but I could never get them as secure as I wanted them, so I ended up using epoxy to attach them permanently. You may have a different experience, but mine would either be too loose or break. Most parts require supports. I don't like supports, but I couldn't find a way around it :( Feel free to remix these parts however you'd like! I used Tinkercad for them and I'm happy to send you any of the files. Wood Accents: Any of the files that say "inset" in them have a space to put small wooden accents that make it look nice. They're not necessary, and I know not everyone would want them so I included versions without the insets. I used a router table with a chamfer bit to bevel the edges of the wooden accents, then glued them to the parts using E6000 glue. Batteries: I used some spare 18650 batteries that I had to make a 2S top handle and 2S 2P battery box that can slide in the base. They get connected using a dummy battery in the camera that power wires run out from, through the EOS-M base, then then attach to the battery wires of with a detachable connector to either the battery handle or battery pack that slides in the base. Please use caution when working with lithium ion batteries! If you don't know what you're doing with them they can catch fire or explode. I used protection boards I got from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08SLQQFSV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 To charge the batteries I put the dummy battery in the camera charger and hook up the battery pack.
