Simple Overhead Camera Mount For Photo & Video

thingiverse

These feet will securely hold 15mm rods that are commonly used for camera rigs. I designed this because I wanted a simple overhead camera mount for making YouTube tutorial videos. I wanted something that wouldn't take up a lot of space and could easily be taken apart and stowed away when not in use. NOTE: This is meant for smaller cameras and smartphones.
