My dad was looking for a way to line up his new fence line as the string and level method wasn't working out for him over long distances. He had the idea to use his gun scope and camera tripod (similar to how surveyors do it) but couldn't find a way to attach them together securely. I took some measurements and headed to Fusion360 to draw up an adapter to solve his problem.
A 7/16th size nut is needed to interface with the tripod screw. There are two typical camera tripod screw thread sizes, 1/4-20 UNC and 3/8-16 UNC, so I recommend testing the nut out before attaching. The nut is press-fit, but a little superglue won't hurt.
I used PetG for strength but I'm sure PLA will work fine.
Please ❤ if this helps you😁
