Hello everyone.
We were shooting beamshots for years, and were always having difficulties attaching flashlights to a tripod mount.
Various clamps and bike mounts were more or less ok, but all suffered from various problems, either being too slow to operate, or just not holding expensive items like Polarion HIDs firmly enough.
Finally, we came to custom-designing and 3D-printing of tripod adapter, and would like to share it with community.
Initially, the design was derived from our lab luxmeter stand, proved and easily-printed solution.
It's customizable for various tripods.
We cut a slot in the middle to fit a cheap Velcro strap. Also it's designed to use two common rubber bands instead of Velcro.
Fully assembled version:
It's open-source and free to use: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:410392
We would appreciate any reviews and suggestions.
