Olympus C-5050 compact arca tripod plate

About the design

This is a very compact arca-type tripod plate and bottom strap connector designed to fit the Olympus C-5050 zoom.

Note - I have an alternative version of this now, which is a bit thinner, has a bit wider base, and a more lozenge-y shape.

Printing it

I recommend slicing it top side down, with a lot of supports, since the steep angle on the left side will come out better that way - but with PLA it should be fine bottom side down too.

Attaching it

I've tested it with these screws: https://www.mcmaster.com/92220A181/ and there is an image attached with the specifications, since that's about as big as it can fit in terms of head width and height.

Just get a 1/4 20 screw that is about 1/4" long, with a head no wider than 0.375".

I have been using 3d printed tripod plate + strap connector combos for years with no problems, but ultimately the safety of your gear is up to you, and I take no responsibility for any damages caused if your copy of this design breaks or does not work with your gear.
