ALZO Suspended Drop Ceiling Camera Mount

Product Information

My project was so simple it's almost a joke compared to the elaborate projects they often take on, but it is really nice to be able to take an idea and project description, pay someone a little money, and have a working part within a short time. Integrated cable management allows cables to pass throughthe centre of the pole to the CCTV camera and out throughthe top or side of the ceiling mount

UNICOL | Ceiling Suspension Video Camera Mount (MCM1)

I shoot the 'A-roll' for my YouTube videos with a Sony a6000 and a small Glide Gear TMP 75 smartphone teleprompter: For lights, monitors, etc., a little wobble isn't a problem. But even with image stabilization in my camera, the wobble becomes noticeable if I have the camera physically attached to my desk.So I've been using a tripod. Only problem is my little 12' x 12' office is not set up to be a YouTube studio. I built it in 2014, and at the time video production was not even on my radar. Idea: TV Ceiling Mount

I made a custom ceiling mount for my camera | Jeff Geerling

The tripod screw would be in a long channel, so the camera could be mounted closer or further from the ceiling mount pole—essential for potential upgrades to a larger teleprompter or camera in the future. At this point, I was exploring the possibility of buying a brake rated for 3mm steel, but found the options (at least for quality equipment I'd be able to use for years) too expensive to justify. I also didn't have a solution for cutting the steel that didn't involve a lot of painful abuse of my power tools meant more for woodworking. I initially considered a fully-3D-printed mount, with a lot of support material and a large amount of infill. I've dialed in my 3D printing setup now, and am confident I could get a good print. But I just won't trust a 5 pound camera rig on a plastic printed part.
