TripoMate

The original design and heavy lifting for TripoMate was accomplished by @Igotocds_1907137. My contribution has been redrawing it in Fusion 360 and making minor tweaks, such as adding chamfers to the edges and adjusting thicknesses. To access @Igotocds_1907137's original files, visit this link: Tripod Attachment System for Backpack.

Disclaimer: I haven't personally printed this design yet, as I'm currently occupied with other projects, but I will be very soon as I have a trip to Scotland coming up. If you have any questions or need clarification, I recommend reaching out to @Igotocds_1907137 on the Printables site.

Model Description

The TripoMate is designed to be securely attached to a backpack or rucksack, addressing the common issue of tripods moving around when strapped to a backpack. From personal experience, I know how frustrating this can be.

@Igotocds_1907137 also created a second version of the MountBar which I have called MountBar Mk2 in the files, which I have included in my files. The available file formats are Fusion 360 (.F3D), STEP, 3MF, and STL. These are provided to allow customisation according to your specific needs. Additionally, I've included a PDF of the drawings I generated in Fusion 360 to facilitate any modifications you might want to make.

Parts Required:

1x Buckle

1x MountBar

8x Clamps

8x M5 50mm Hex Bolts

8x M5 Nuts or Nyloc Nuts

1x Webbing Strap

Regarding the webbing strap, @Igotocds_1907137 notes on his page, “Additionally, you'll need a length of strap and some spare buckles. I used buckles from the store because I had some around, but many printable ones are available here.”
