Carbon Camera TriPod

Carbon Camera TriPod 📸🦾

I designed this tripod because I had some leftover carbon tubes from another project. 🛠

There are two versions tailored for different carbon tube sizes:

For tubes with 26mm outer diameter and 22mm inner diameter 📏

For tubes with 25mm outer diameter and 23mm inner diameter 📐

The carbon tubes are typically 320mm long , but you can adjust the length to your preference. ✂

Printed parts are made from PETG or PCTG , but other materials can work too— avoid PLA for durability reasons! 🚫🧪

For extra strength, I used M5 threaded inserts for screws and 3/8" to 1/4" thread adapters for cameras, ensuring long-lasting and secure connections. 🔩

The ball head model used is "Tripod Ball Head" by zx82, but you can use other compatible ball heads as well. 🎯
