I wanted to use a small flashlight as a spotlight to accentuate the awesome sound-dampening panel that friends created me for Christmas for when I'm recording videos at my desk,  so I designed a parametric solution in OpenSCAD.

After printing, I used a ¼"-20 threaded insert to mount atop one of my tripods.  At most angles, my small focusable LED flashlight fits well and a rubber band holds it snugly upside down.

The base of flashlight I'm using measures about 70mm long with a diameter of 27mm.   The included STL file (Flashlight Tripod Mount -- 27mm x 70mm.stl) was generated using these values.

If your flashlight isn't that size,  install a copy of OpenSCAD and make changes to these  two variables to match your flashlight:

  • flashlight_height:  The measurement (in mm) from the base of the bulb to the end of the flashlight.
  • flashlight_diameter: The measurement (in mm) of the flashlight handle's diameter.
