Mic Stand Raspberry Pi Holder - Vertical

nigeljohnson73 made a great timelapse harness, but it only worked with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module version 1, so I made a version that worked with the RPi Camera Module v2.1

Then, I decided that I wanted to try and secure his timelapse harness to something. I have a few mic stands kicking around, so I made an adapter that converts the mic stand (5/8"-27) to the harness (M16x2.0 metric).

This is borderline remix territory, and it works well with the timelapse harness, so I'll call it a remix, but I've basically created a vertical Raspberry Pi holder that connects to the standard mic stand. As you can see by the pictures, this is a complete set from holding the camera steady at the appropriate angle, to cable management, all the way down to holding the RPi closer to the camera. I went out and bought a 24" ribbon cable, but I imagine with this set-up, you could have one even shorter!

Because the keyholes are strangely off-center on the back of my (wonderful!) RPi case, securing the case to vertically causes it to lean to one side. I think the next iteration will be a horizontally-oriented back-plate. For those who are running their RPi caseless, don't forget to see the cage nigeljohnson73 made!

(Here's the case I use, by the way...don't forget to tell them I sent you, even though I won't get anything - it's just nice to know I'm sending business their way. It's a cool company!)

Also, as with any of my ideas/designs, please let me know if you'd like an alternate version. I can't always say I'm going to have the time, but it's good to have the ideas out there!

I can't wait to print a Baby Groot planter!
