3D printed baseplate, customized.
On today’s episode of Definitely Unemployed and Probably Autistic: my Bolex camera has an awkward little spindle of a base so it doesn’t sit nice on a table and also spins on a tripod. So I made a custom baseplate for it, including dual 1/4-20 mounting holes for a quick release plate, multiple 1/4-20 mounting points, and a single 5/8 rod holder with thumb screw to lock it in place.
The original body is from sixteenmillimeter.com, but I changed it pretty heavily to fit my needs. All the added mounting inlays were me too. Thought it turned out pretty nice.
