Microphone Stand Camera Adapter

This is a superquick 3-D printing project. I found in the past that when I film videos in the workshop I am very often tripping over the tripod and the camera never seems to be in a convenient position to get the shot. I realized that I had a microphone stand that was very much like a camera boom, but of course it didn’t have a standard camera mount. Rather than hack up the stand, since one day I may want to use it hold a microphone, I designed and printed an adapter that was shaped like a microphone body and had a 1/4-20 screw on top to attach to the camera.

I designed the part in Autodesk’s 123D Design and the model and STL files are available on Thingiverse.
