I hate tripods.

The design is based on a balanced arm lamp I have in my office. This prototype is at a point where I’m going to use it for a while before making adjustments to the model, but it’s doing great for a proof of concept.

    The rods are 3/8ths inch and the bolts are 1/4 20 hardware, plus 4mm machine screws assembling smaller parts and as grub screws. I think it’ll stay together fine, but there’s enough load over a long distance that it does have a little sway and bounce after moving it. Although, after a few seconds it settles and I haven’t had any issues. I figure that my phone’s video stabilization will filter out the small stuff.

    Oh yeah, and I printed the components with an 0.8mm nozzle and 0.5mm layer height. They’re chonky.
