Small Tripod Extension

Working on another project, which will soon be available as well, taking photos and videos at the same time, I realized what I am missing at the moment ... a little more tripods than there are and a little less tripods than there are also available. This is how the extension cord for small tripods was born. However, before that I managed to buy three excellent Ulanzi tripods, but they will not arrive soon, and I needed it now...

It's simple, well, of course, if everything is at hand ... First of all, your favorite printer, well, there are various little things ... You will need an anodized aluminum tube with a diameter of 8 mm with a wall thickness of 1 mm, as well as a UNC 1/4-20 tap, this is one of the standards of carving used in photo and video equipment and accessories. It is convenient to cut the thread by holding the tube in a vice, however, if you have enough strength, you can hold it with your hands. I prefer a comfortable work and a convenient tool.

Among the files, I have laid out two versions of the handle for the tube, with and without backing. The backing itself can be printed from TPU plastic and the base I prefer to print from ABS, but this is not important.

And some pictures:

A few more words about the light when shooting: there is never too much of it, and the accessories themselves, too. It would seem that there are already so many of them, but something will always be lacking ... But there is always a solution ...
