Drain, sewer, duct camera mount for Linteater rods

thingiverse

This is a mount that allows you to easily attach a cheap endoscopic camera to threaded Linteater duct cleaning flex rods so you can view and record video or photos of the insides of your sewer lines or HVAC and dryer ducts. This is sized for a 9mm diameter camera but anything close should work. I recommend tape at the threaded joints as an extra safety to keep the mount from coming off. Some tape around the camera/camera wire will also ensure that it stays attached to the mount. Rounded ends are intended to help it get through joints and tees better. Edit: I will be adding another version. The small version may be good for tight spaces but with the Linteater rods mine tends to bend so that it mostly is pointed at the wall of the pipe and doesn't give the best view. The larger version should be better and will fit in 3" pipes. You can resize it in your slicer for larger pipes. Need to resize and add fins. Larger version with fins uploaded but I have not actually tested this one yet. For sewer pipes I believe that with either one of these mounts it would be best to stay in mostly straight pipes. Linteater rods are flexible but not so much as a metal drain snake. I found using the small mount that you get some friction and resistance at joints and turns. It probably won't go through more than 1 or 2 turns before it gets too hard to push. Alternatively you can zip tie or tape the cam directly to a snake.
