M5StickC camera hot shoe mount/holder for tally light
Description
I designed a hot shoe mount for the **M5Stick C Plus** that is minimalist but holds the unit tight and secure, even on mobile cameras. This holder works for **M5Stick C** and **M5Stick C Plus**. It uses the regular watch belt mounting holes in the M5STick C. It uses a standard 3/8" thread (often used on microphone stands). It should be compatible (no guarantee) so one could also use a 3/8" knurled nut instead for tightening. Parts on the images printed in black **PLA** on an **Ender 3 v2**. ## Assembly 1. Print the parts 2. Put the knurled nut on the thread 3. Use superglue to permanently connect holder and thread (press fit also works fine for the first test) ## Software I am using [Tally Arbiter](https://github.com/josephdadams/TallyArbiter) to create tally lights with **M5Stick C Plus**. I am using **OBS Studio** as broadcasting software. It works great. Of course for live use you need to attache a power supply or a power bank to the **M5StickC**. The internal battery only last for about an hour. ### Code for the M5Stick C C code for the **Tally Arbiter-M5Stick C Listener** on [GitHub](https://github.com/josephdadams/TallyArbiter-M5StickCListener) By default the internal red LED lights up when in program mode (red screen). To change this to an external LED just change ``` const byte led_program = 26; const int led_preview = 25; ``` The red LED is than connected between G26 and 5V (as seen in the picture). ## Acknowledgements * Software [Tally Arbiter](https://github.com/josephdadams/TallyArbiter) by **Joseph Adams** * Idea from [Hotshoe Coupler](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2585398) by **erkark**
