My son was born missing his right arm / hand and struggled to use a camera properly. This device I designed enables people to take pictures using their left arm as 99% cameras do not have a fire button on the left hand side. The device does have the ability to house most average sized cameras. The different long rails on the base plate give plenty of movement both backwards and forwards so you can position your model of camera to line up with the fire pin. I have attached 10 different sizes of pin ends tested to fit on different cameras but you can resize in software such as TinkerCad should none of these fit. This part is interchangeable should you change cameras in the future. I have tested the following different sized cameras..... Cannon Powershot sx710HS (5mm PIN) Cannon Powershot sx210IS (17mm PIN) Cannon Powershot A3200IS (18MM PIN) Check online should you need to compare dimensions. *Additional Tools / Equipment Required For The Build* M3 X 25mm Allen Head Bolts x 2 M3 x 22mm Allen Head Bolts x 4 M3 Nylok Nuts x 4 M3 Standard Nuts x 2 Allen Keys Superglue (Gel) 1/4 Thumb Screw (Camera tripod mount bolt) These can all be found quite easily online The total cost for this build is around £9
