I don't understand why camera mounts cost so much when its so simple. This one isn't adjustable but you could put a ball joint on if you wanted.
Draw the design on paper. The hardest part is to get the bolt holes in the right place. Cut the design out.
Glue the paper cutout to 5mm plywood. I would have gotten PVC if I could find it but ply will do the job. Trace the outline of the paper onto the ply.
Drill the holes. I’m not sure where the best position for the camera will be so I put a few holes. I also want to mount my MP3 player on here.
Whip out the old jig saw and cut that sucker.
Sand, clean etc.
Yes I own a dremel,
Yes I mod PCs,
Yes I am a nerd,
Yes I wouldn’t get laid if I didn’t have a bike.
Countersink the holes.
This is solarfilm. Its used to cover RC planes. You peel the back off and iron it on. It shrinks and sticks, light weight and durable. Visit your local hobby shop. You have to do something to prevent the ply from warping when it rains. PVC would have been a better material.
Get yourself some 5mm countersunk bolts. I got crappy ones but I’m still looking for decent anodized allen heads.
Now I can film my squidding.
