Custom tripod legs attachment for Nauticam housing

I made a mockup of a tripod legs attachment for my Nauticam NA-A7 housing. I was looking for something simple and compact. For now I printed the parts, will send them for machining shortly.

I use an updated handle L plate as support for the front legs. I found cheap Inon style strobe ball mount.

For the back leg, I use the tripod mound a attachment and one of the feature use during the body machining as anti-return point. To simply the part, a bushing is press-fitted on the plate.

While the X404 legs seems to be the best, for a try I found cheap legs too.

I more than welcome feedback and idea for improvement.

Looks great, I am actually looking for something similar for my compact camera system (RX100m4) and having spent a bit of time researching I don't find anything convincing to buy "out-of-the-box" so I might just try and adapt this idea for use with the Nauticam Flexitray if you don't mind.

Just need to trace someone nearby doing the tooling at reasonable cost....

very cool. good work

This looks great, Atobit! Are you willing to share the design files from which you printed the parts?

Sure!

Here a zip file that content the 3D step files and a PDF.

Feel free for question.

Hello Lionfish,

could you please provide an other download link please ? this one (http://atobit.com/?wpdmdl=1809) seems to be broken ...

Thanks a lot

You might also try www.thorlabs.com who produce opto-mechanical parts which can be used to build stuff - using 1/4" x 20tpi which fits tripod threads, or M6 - some of their parts could be used if you like mechano! I use them for all sorts of things - they manufacture in stainless steel and anodised aluminium.

Not cheap but probably cheaper than getting stuff machined unless you diy.
