About Project

Ever felt like one camera just wasn’t enough? One of our colleagues decided to bridge the gap between cinematic gimbal shots and professional DSLR photography by custom-designing this clever 3D-printed mount.

By attaching the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 directly to the hot shoe of a Nikon camera, they鈥檝e created the ultimate hybrid setup. This allows for simultaneous high-res stills and super-smooth 4K gimbal footage without needing a bulky secondary tripod. It鈥檚 a game-changer for event photographers and vloggers who need to capture every angle at once!

The design features a secure, form-fitting cradle for the Osmo, ensuring it stays stable even when you’re on the move. It鈥檚 a perfect example of how a simple custom part can solve a specific workflow headache.

Solution

• Step 1: The custom mount was designed in CAD software to ensure a precision fit for the Osmo Pocket 3 base and the Nikon hot shoe.
• Step 2: The 3D model was exported as an STL file and processed through slicing software to optimize layer height and infill density for structural strength.
• Step 3: Black PLA/PETG filament was selected for its durability, and the part was produced using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology.
• Step 4: The support structures were carefully removed, and the surfaces were lightly sanded to ensure a smooth, professional finish.
• Step 5: The final component was inspected for dimensional accuracy before being assembled onto the camera rig.
