Cold Shoe Mounting System for Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro

This is my final submission for the Nothing CMF Phone design contest. 

NOTE: All critical parts have been printed and tested on a DSLR.

The idea was to create a dedicated videography cover to attach the phone to a shoe mount on a camera. This could be used as a viewing monitor or for any other purpose. 

The phone can be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal fashion using the dovetail slots. There is a basic slot cover file to allow for additional customization, or to cover up the unused opening. There are additional cold shoe mounts around the frame for adding accessories such as a microphone or light. 

Printing & Design Notes:

• The part ‘Cold Shoe VF’ should be printed on its side with supports to ensure proper strength. That's why the threads are not a full cylinder. 
• I've added 2 versions of the Pivot Arm. One that uses an M4 (5mm length) threaded insert and one that has printed threads so you can simply use an M4 bolt. 
• I designed the Pivot Arm part so that it if the knob were to break at the threads for whatever reason, this would not cause any catastrophic failure. The knob simply pushes against the phone case and does not thread into it. 
• The cold shoe mount also has a hole on the bottom for a ¼"-20 threaded insert for mounting to a tripod. 

Fastener Notes:

• (Qty 1) M4X25mm Bolt is required for the pivoting arm. The ‘Pivot Knob’ is designed to be used with a standard hex bolt but any M4 bolt can be used. 
• As stated previously, the M4 threaded insert is optional and there are two files available for that part. One with a larger hole for the insert and one with printed threads.
