Sometimes there is only one orientation in which you can attach your photo/video accessories using cold shoe connection.

My adapter solves this problem.

Tested with lightweight LED panels and microphones only (see disclaimer*)

Features:

  • Rotation: Mount gear rotated 90/180 degrees.

  • Offset: Raise and move your accessories (ideal for clearing cable ports or camera dials).

  • Integrated Tension Spring: Features a compliant mechanism for a tight, rattle-free fit.

  • Print-ready: No supports needed.

Printing Recommendations:

  • Walls: 3+ for structural integrity.

  • Material: PETG, ASA, or ABS for better heat and deformation resistance.

  • PLA NOT RECOMMENDED (due to material creep and low heat resistance).

*Disclaimer & Safety Warning

Use at your own risk. This is a 3D-printed DIY accessory. While field-tested, the structural integrity of the final part depends entirely on your print settings, material quality, and printer calibration. The author is not responsible for any equipment damage, accidents, or loss resulting from the use or failure of this adapter. Always double-check the tightness and condition of the spring mechanism before mounting expensive gear.
