When I get a chance, I will tidy up the models and pop them up on Thingiverse. If you have a 3d printer they are super easy to bash out, then all you need are a few M3 inserts and acres and you are good
That's awesome. I'm using a 200mm plate and the screws were 10mm flathead screws, two on each side seemed to be enough. Just remember to predrill the holes so you don't crack the 3d print.
Forgot to add, the way put it together was, I just the plate on the camera and mounted the arms to the grou d glass with the double sided tape and then added a small dot of hot glue to each of the parts that will be screwed to the plate and put them in place so they were at the right placement so the arms were parallel with the ground glass and move freely, then once I was happy I gingerly unscrewed the plate from the camera so as not to break the hit glue and added the self tapping screws for strength. This was you can put the whole thing on the camera and get the right placement first and just use hit glue to hold it until you add the screws. If that makes any sense 😂
Well at least it wasn’t an oopsie with the Exxie Expie… As much as magnets would be good, there’s a really obvious disadvantage having the focussing screen attached by the Beast Grads magnets that ?David uses on Chromas… the chance of pulling the camera back out of focus. Loved the video, great hack right there!
True, and even if there were magnets, it doesn't stop me from dropping it when it's not attached, which knowing me is always a chance. I just did my first shoot with it, and it was a absolute success, really easy to use. Video for that shoot is rendering as we speak.
I have uploaded the parts to Thingiverse here if anyone else wants to make one www.thingiverse.com/thing:6466104
well done ... nice try ...I need one for my Six17 🙂

Can you tell me what size arca Swiss plate you used and the screw size and length for attaching together? I just received my printed parts back.

I don’t have a dog, but the hamster says “sup”
