If this mount saves your camera (or your trees), throw it a Boost! A lot of time went into prototyping, fitting, and integrating the weather shield to make sure this thing actually performs outdoors. Dropping a Boost helps support future functional designs, prototyping materials, and other upgrades for the community. Thank you so much for the support!

- Integrated Weather Hood: The built-in sun and rain shield keeps harsh sunlight glare off your lens and protects the camera face from downpours. (Tested)
- Rain Drain: If water ever does get into the camera area there is holes at the bottom so water does not flood your camera (Tested)
Recommended Print Settings & Materials
⚠️ Important: Because this mount lives outdoors and supports an expensive camera, do not print this in standard PLA, as it will warp and melt in the summer sun.
- ASA (Highly Recommended): The absolute best choice for outdoor utility prints. It offers incredible UV resistance and handles extreme summer heat without deforming.
- PETG (Great Alternative): Very easy to print, highly durable, and has excellent weather/heat resistance compared to PLA.
- ABS: Strong and highly heat-resistant, though it requires a heated enclosure to print reliably without warping.
- Infill: 25%–35% (Gyroid recommended for structural strength).
- Walls/Perimeters: 4–5 walls to ensure the screw holes and strap loops are completely solid.
⚠️ Ball Joint screw cap may wear down over time if not printed with high filament levels!
