Camera Holder in Dome Light for Honda Civic X

This 3D model requires a ball joint-type phone holder to retrofit some of its parts. You will need a screw with a nut cap, along with the phone holder itself. The model uses a 17mm ball to connect to the phone holder.

This adapter allows you to install a camera (or phone) holder beneath the center dome interior light in a 10th-generation Honda Civic. The adapter also includes a 20.8mm opening for installing a USB adapter to power your device. The camera position captures both the interior and gauge clusters, as well as the front windscreen view—ideal for track days. Just make sure your phone is securely and tightly mounted!

I used a small USB adapter, cut it open at the back, and wired the power directly to the dome light’s positive terminal, using the screw as the negative terminal.

You will need longer screws to install the dome light with this adapter: M5x45mm (2x). [50mm screw length also fits.]

There are two different arms included in the 3MF files. I recommend printing the arm using a stronger material for obvious reasons - I used polycarbonate for mine.

This model went through many design iterations and has been fine-tuned for optimal image quality and stability. The setup captures your footwell, gearstick, speedometer and tachometer, turbo boost pressure, and windscreen view. A device with proper image stabilization is essential to prevent blurry footage. Examples of images captured by the phone are attached.

Enjoy - and good luck on your track days!
