Recently I have switched my phone to the new iPhone 12 Pro and now I'm on the journey of migrating everything I can to MagSafe. Recently I have dusted away my old gimbal, Zhiyun Smooth-Q. I wanted to upgrade it to use MagSafe that is present on the phone. I have designed this adapter, that enables MagSafe for this gimbal. Everything is sized that when you level the adapter with the back of the mount (fragment between jaws, look at the photos) everything will fit perfectly and the phone will lock its position.
There are two versions, one for bare iPhone 12 (Pro, both have the same dimensions), second for case (it is 2mm thicker). The case needs to be MagSafe capable.
Magnets that fit this adapter can be easily bought on Aliexpress, there is only one critical dimension, they need to be 0.5mm thick. They also have adhesive on one side, which is enough to keep magnets in place, but you always can use Super Glue. Here is a sample link: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001688088464.html
It is also recommended to print everything on layer height equals to 0.25mm, then magnets fit perfectly
