PL: Tripod Ground Spike
This is a tripod ground spike you can use to place a camera in the ground anywhere. You'll need 1 brass insert for each spike https://amzn.to/3apQlAQ and you'll also need a 1/4" adapter to your camera like https://amzn.to/394nvFL .
Simply print the part, then use a soldering iron to SLOWLY insert the brass insert. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. Don't touch it at all while cooling.
Once cool you can mount any camera, webcam or other device that uses a 1/4-20 thread.
What do I use a tripod ground spike for?
attach a trail cam, for ground level action
attach a gopro and capture video of your golf swing, hitting the ball, etc.
Great for small cameras at kids baseball games, etc.
Hold the camera in the sand on the beach
These spikes will cost you around $20 on amazon but the 3D print at 100% infill is only 39g and very strong.
