    In this project I will be showing you how to create a simple overhead camera rig. The rig can not only hold the camera right above the object you want to film, but it also features a monitor to observe the footage and LED illumination to perfectly light your scene. The main materials are PVC pipes and wood and thus this rig is pretty easy to replicate. Let's get started!

    light strips would allow you to photograph highly reflective samples. Nice video!

I'm planning on using it a lot once I finish my 3d printer build. It also let's you simulate and test out your design for strength and vibrations in the simulation tab and you can do all sorts of other things with it like sending your designs out to a prototyping company for things you want built more durable than 3d printing like milled aluminum, etc. Also has options for making g code for milling, laser engraving/cutting, and much much more.

You might find more options for mounting your camera looking for regular hardware than camera specific hardware. Looks like you had to 3d print a spacer to use your “special camera screw.”
