A handle which screws into a camera's standard 1/4 inch tripod mount.
This handle allows me to easily grip and steady the camera when taking underwater photos.
Framing photos is easier too because your hand is out of the way.
When swimming through the water, its easier to grip the camera with the handle than hold the camera itself.
A 1/4inch bolt was cut to length, pulled through the hole and glued into place with epoxy resin.
Object was printed in PETG with 0.3mm layer heights. Only a low infill percentage is required. This proof of concept piece was printed with 15% infill and two perimeters, however, I think the infill percentage could be lowered even further or the object's wall thickness reduced too.
Design files are available on [Onshape](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/546f987976b691220b97c178/w/2d7cfa11f7e98e1ae94e2934/e/19b68aab98ef8183d05b8c44). Note that this is a work in progress and I have some ideas for improvement which I am yet to make.
