Projekt "VeloLock" for cameras and accessories

VeloLock – Quick Release Camera & Accessory System

VeloLock is a compact, high-speed quick-release mounting ecosystem designed for cameras, field monitors, microphones, LED lights, rig accessories,... .

VeloLock was specifically designed for 3D printing and metal fabrication, enabling the immediate exchange of accessories without cumbersome knurled screws or bulky adapters.

What problem does it solve?

• No more screwing: Quickly swap equipment using a simple snap-in mechanism (“Press to Mount”) and release it by pressing a lever (“Push to Release”).

• More flexible positioning: Accessories can be locked in at 45° intervals, allowing cables or monitors to be quickly realigned without having to detach the mount.

• For controls that are awkward to operate while on the rig, components can be removed and reattached very quickly without needing to readjust their position.

Features

• Press to Mount: Simply push the top plate into the housing until you hear a solid mechanical snap.

• Push to Release: Press the integrated safety latch to instantly release your device.

• Zero-Play Stability: Thanks to tight wedge tolerances, rotation is prevented and wobbling is eliminated. However, the plate can be used every 45° for maximum application range.

• Support-Free Design: Print all parts flat on the print bed with zero supports needed.

• Universal Standard: Compatible with standard 1/4"-20 camera screws and tripod mounts.

• Metal manufacturing: It is possible to manufacture the entire assembly from metal to ensure maximum service life.

• Standard: ARRI Interface 1/4"                                                                                                                                               The quick-release system can also be enlarged to fit ARRI 3/8" interfaces.

Print Information

For maximum layer strength and mechanical durability, follow these settings:

• Material: PETG, ABS, or ASA (Recommended for flexibility & mechanical strength). PLA works well for lightweight gear.

• Layer Height: 0.2mm

• Perimeters: 4

• Infill: housing 25%, hook 50%

• Supports: NO (Designed support-free)

• Orientation: Print all parts flat on their default bottom face.

• 2 versions: version 1 - housing KondorBlue is for screws on both sides (Kondor Blue)

                       version 2 - housing uni  has a 1/4" thread so that the adapter can also be used on all                               common tripods and camera mounts.
