Beskrivelse

This fully modular top-down camera rig is designed to be strong, adaptable, and easy to build using 3D-printed parts and standard aluminum C-profiles. Whether you're filming overhead videos, doing stop-motion, or setting up a product photography station, this system gives you full control over size and layout. The aluminum C-profiles allow for scalable height and width depending on your workspace. Edit 18/08/2025: STEP files are now included! Edit 25/10/2025: Lots of people asked for parts for ½ inch profiles so I redesigned most parts and made a new upload: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1922951-the-ultimate-diy-overhead-camera-setup-inches#profileId-2063451 Please note that someone in the US tested the fit for me but I can't garantee that it will work for everyone because there aren't ½ inch profiles in hardware stores in Belgium where I live. The new parts are based on this product photo: The design includes: 3D-printable table clamps with TPU pads for grip Corner joints for 90° connections Universal mounts for cameras, lights, or phones Adjustable modules that slide along the horizontal rail No supports needed for most parts Optional end caps for safety and a clean finish Optional to fasten with M4 bolts and threaded inserts Watch the video I made about this project: All parts are designed to work together with my other modular tripod and rig systems.
