Simple Overhead Camera Mount For Photo & Video

These feet will securely hold 15mm rails that are commonly used for camera rigs. I designed this because I wanted a simple overhead camera mount for making YouTube tutorial videos. I wanted something that wouldn't take up a lot of space and could easily be taken apart and stowed away when not in use. NOTE: This is meant for smaller cameras and smartphones.

Parts I used:
I included the names of all the parts I used. You can find them on Amazon

Rails going across the desk--I screwed the two of them together to give me a wide working space that spans almost my entire work bench.
