Mounting USB cameras

[rdeyer]

Does anyone have suggestions on how to mount the USB cameras for swing analysis that don't have cases (i.e., https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWXRKNL)?

I made a 3D printed case for that camera. If you have a 3D printer, the file is on thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4591022

I don't own a 3d printer, or know anyone who does, but that's super cool you did that. Nice work!

There are print and ship companies that will print the file and ship it to you for you to assemble. It’s reasonably priced too.

If you don't have a 3D printer, you may want to check with your local library. Ours has multiple and they're "free" to use (we pay so much in taxes they certainly aren't free).

If they don't, try the county library, or another library in the region. Most city libraries share library permissions with other local cities, and one of them is bound to have a 3D printer.

ELP also makes a version with case https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33017488541.html

That's what I ended up buying yesterday. Now I just need to wait an entire month while it ships from China

I'll end up returning the version with no case easily since it was thru Amazon. The benefit of getting that first version was I proved I could slow the swing down and see the club clearly with minimal blur. I had to re-do my lighting since it requires a ton of light when you open the exposure of the camera up that much. I went from 500 lumens to 15,000 lumens. I know some people have talked about even brighter being needed but I'm trying to balance that with not washing out my impact screen image. I did a setup very similar to https://gunghogolf.com/articles/indo...video-lighting with track lighting. I created the custom snoots they talked about in the article in order to direct that light as narrow down as possible.

My current issue is that the high lumens are bouncing off the garage concrete floor and still creating enough ambient light to affect the impact screen more than i'd like. I ordered some more artificial grass flooring in hopes to reduce that even further. That should hopefully be in next week to test further with. I'm not sure there is much more I can do after that.

Or you get a piece of wood, a T nut, and a screw. Screw the camera leg to the wood, insert the T nut into the wood, screw tripod mount into T nut
