The Ultimate DIY Overhead Camera Setup (INCHES)

This fully modular top-down camera rig is designed to be strong, adaptable, and easy to build using 3D-printed parts and ½ inch 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.

Lots of people asked for a ½ inches-version so here it is :)

If you don't use inches, here is the original upload with 15x15x2 mm C-Profiles:

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
