3D printed a gimbal mount for the Granite 3S

[jondilly1974]

Kept going back and forth on a camera slide design and landed on an ultra portable version using my Granite as a base. Wasn’t going to spend $300+ for an entry level motorized slide, so I had planned on making something with 3D parts and some conduit. But I couldn’t decide on motor, controls, etc. Then I had a 2am moment of clarity. Strap my gimbal to the Granite! Off I went designing a mount.

Here are the results

This was printed in Sainsmart 95A TPU for extra cushion. The gimbal is held to the mount via a single 1/4-20 screw from the bottom. The mount is held by the two M3 screws where the side guard is usually mounted as well as two velcro straps on the center bar.
