Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Ball and Socket Wall Mounted
Description
A Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Module can be used in combination with a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a high quality webcam. You can check out how to create the camera [here](http://www.davidhunt.ie/raspberry-pi-zero-with-pi-camera-as-usb-webcam/). This thing is a ball and socket mount for the camera so you can easily rotate it and a wall mount so you can easily move it. The HQ camera module is attached to the ball, and the raspberry pi is attached to the socket. This is mostly useful in static scenarios such as webcam, streaming or security camera systems. To connect all the parts you will need - 8 M2.5 nuts - 8 M2.5 10mm (or larger) bolts. To make a full setup you will need - 8x *spacer* - 1x *ball* - 1x *socket* - 1x *interface* - 1x *wallmount* Make sure to rotate the *interface* and the *wallmount* to a standing-up position for printing. Additionally, place the *interface* with the not-slotted face on the build plate or you will have to bridge the gap. There are several components you need to connect: - The HQ Camera Module connects using M2.5 bolts and nuts to the *ball* file. Pre-install the nuts. Use four spacers between the module and the ball to make room for the camera cable. - The Rpi Zero W connects using M2.5 bolts and nuts. Pre-install the nuts on the *socket*. Sandwich the rpi between the *interface* and the *socket* using the four remaining spacers. Orient the peripheral ports of the rpi towards the socket. Connecting the ball to the socket is a snap fit that holds the HQ module and lens in place. If it does not, consider scaling the ball part (untested). The image shows the camera assembly. The *wallmount* is a very simple and fast print. Both the *interface* and the *wallmount* have a cut to interface with each other which allows quick switching. The idea is that you can put up a couple of *wallmount* where you want to and have the freedom to move the camera quickly. It uses 2 screws that are countersunk in the base. I've considered using double sided tape but I don't want the camera to fall, so I didn't test it. I am still interested in this, so if you do decide to test it out, let me know in the comments how long it held up (no warranty whatsoever).
