3D model description

Very simple device that combines both functions:

- sony alpha 6000 hot shoe cover

- an always ready flash bounce system

Install it on the camera and leave it forever, il will always be there when you'll need it and the hotshoe contacts are protected ;-)

Being able to angle the flash to bounce light off the ceiling will create a better looking image many times. Most digital cameras have a flash that only faces forward. This will burn your subject with hard light many times. The Alpha 6000 will do the job using this simple device:

- pop the flash unit out of its box,

- push the head of the flash toward the screen

- push the carbon rod to the right

Isn't this a KISS concept ? (Keep It Smart and Simple)

EDIT: I moved the pin 2 mm forwards which allows to trim the angle of the flash just sliding backwards the hotshoe cover...

3D printing settings

just print it in PLA

drill the hole at 2mm

insert a piece of 2mm carbon rod (or any other material)

The hole diameter shall adjusted so that the carbon rod moves with some friction.
