Thing Details
This project is a mounting system for lightweight objects such as phones and small cameras. The joint is compatible with GoPro mount.

to support my work. Thanks in advance.UPDATE [2020-11-15]:
- Updated holder for phone clamp so it can swap orientation.
UPDATE [2020-11-18]:
- New M5 knobs. More tolerance on Phone clamp.
- Be sure to read the description before ask questions in comment area.
FEATURES:
- It is designed to be modular to provide flexible use. The system has potential to mount most phones and small cameras onto a wide range of objects. Using same parts printed for different purpose is the major approach.
- The included phone clamp can grab phones very firmly. And it is suitable for phones from about 55mm wide to 95mm wide (iPhone 4 - iPhone 12 Pro Max and bigger). The clamp hook was angled so it won't be able to reach and accidentally press the buttons on the side of phone.
- The modules can be used with GoPro compatible equipment. The bolts and nuts included in the design are standard M5. It's hightly recommended to use metal bolts and nuts for the arm. There is also a printable version if anyone is interested to try out.
- With this modular system, I will be developing new add-ons to it. Feel free to watch this thing. Many of the objects designed for GoPro are already usable for this setup. If anyone wants to make remix, STEP files are available here.
ACHIEVED APPLICATIONS:
- Phone/Camera/GoPro mount
- Desk clamp for phone/camera.
- Stand for phone.
- Headphone stand.
- And much more applications in REMIX section of original page.
MAKING:
- It is highly recommended to print with complete support interface for the parts in this project. Support interface would give a flat bottom which result in a better mechanical performance.
- The orientation of stl files are already thought through during my testing. Try printing at the current orientation unless you run into problems. It is not recommended to reorient the arms to save support material. The tabs will be easy to break if printed otherwise.
- The bolt is oriented horizontally for optimised strength. Bottom teeth is trimmed off for printing easily. It acts very similar to a full thread. Only the phone clamp bolt (M5x65) is recommended to use printed version. All the bolts for arms should be metal if possible.
NOTES:
- It is not recommended to extend the arm too long. General filament is not strong enough to take that much lateral load at this size and the arm would be very wobbly. And the arms are optimized to stay still. If you wish to use this design as selfie stick or similar purpose, please be careful with the material strength and use at you own risk.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
- The joints are inspired by GoPro design.
- The foldable arm is inspired by "GoPro counter balance folding stick. by UltiArjan" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:433378).
- Bolts and nuts are created with the awesome customizer "NUT JOB | Nut, Bolt, Washer and Threaded Rod Factory by mike_mattala" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647).
- The desk clamp is inspired by "G-Clamp fully printable by johann517" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1673030).
Thank you all for your great work so that I could accomplish this project.
