Inverted Extendable Miniature PTZ Camera Mount

Just did a new UPDATE. June 17th 2024... The Base has a bigger footprint. The Mount now has an Arch to help prevent sag and it's also longer. I added another mount. Both mounts need need a threaded heat set inser, There are 2 different mounts one for REOLink and another for other cameras This mount needed a little sanding to make it fit But My Jarnex camera seats well with it now. This is a great PTZ camera with AI This is not an Affiliate Link but it works great upside down one weird thing is if it will not tilt down (if upright) Or tilt up (inverted) Just rotate the camera by hand into the further position it will not go and wala its fixed ..

PLEASE Share any prints of this. I currently have 4 of these (4th one is printing now) Also once all are printed Im doing a set of extensions (I will have 3 on one camera and 2 on another. ) Also Would love to see REMIXES if anyone improves on the design..

I have always appreciated these small ball cameras that can be conveniently placed on a dresser, tabletop, or virtually anywhere. However, they present a significant drawback: their impracticality in capturing floor-level footage unless you're targeting something like a spider on the ceiling. To address this issue, I designed a solution allowing the inversion of the camera allowing better coverage in a design that incorporates a press-fit system and built-in cable management, allowing the power cable to exit from the base.

This design features an adjustable extension that can be reprinted for different heights, depending on your needs and the length of your power cable. Originally, I created these mounts for my two Reolink cameras and one Jarnex camera. I like the Jarnex due to its AI capabilities and lifelike movements. The base of the mount should be robust enough to withstand the vibrations from being placed on top of my 3D printer.

The design includes ample space for power cable management, which I revised after discovering that a USB-C cable could not pass through the initial version. The Reolink mount is relatively thick to accommodate the 1/4-20 inserts I have. While I could have opted for a rounded design, I prefer the sharp, crystal-like edges inspired by my first prototype. Notably, the press-fit feature has remained unchanged throughout the design iterations, performing remarkably well.

I printed these using a Creality K1 Max in PETG and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Currently, I am printing four of these bases. Feel free to remix these designs as you see fit, even printing multiple extensions to test their reach, though that might be an excessive use of filament.

After identifying the need for design adjustments, I opted to reprint only the mount section to address the issue while retaining the rest of the design. The newer model provides more space at the back for the power cable, preventing any kinking issues present in the older version. Additionally, there should now be sufficient room for a USB-C cable to run down the spine.

Happy printing!
