Hi,
I tried looking for photos of the Spectator's bracket on the Hololens 2, and cant seems to find them on the internet.
Does anyone have photos of this Spectator View's bracket being used with Hololens 2.
I would like to check before I print them, to see if it can hold its pose precisely every time it is removed and put back on.
Thanks.

here you are

you can print it out with 3D printer

There are multiple ways to mount the camera to the bracket, this is just my quick and mediocre way to do it.

HololensBracket

The main attachment point is a 3/4" threaded rod running through the central column of the bracket with a coupling nut on either end. This is the standard thread for almost all cameras. In my case, I screwed the HL2+bracket onto the tripod, and then screwed the camera on top. I do NOT recommend this, It's a hassle to attach and remove the camera, and you have no guarantee that the camera will be facing the same direction each time. Also if the nuts are not tight enough, the headset can swivel easily.

Instead, i'd recommend getting a hotshoe mount and attaching that to the bottom of the hololens bracket. Then your bracket will mount on top of your camera, and should maintain it's relative position better.

A few other notes about the 3d print files:

  • "body.stl" is actually 2 separate parts: the main body, and an attachment piece for the backside that encircles the adjustment knob
  • "clamp.stl" is the small piece that goes underneath the visor and supports most of the weight. However, it is only held in place by friction! So far for me, it's a pretty tight connection, but i assume with repeated assembly that this will weaken and will fail.
  • the overall design is not very FDM printer friendly and requires a lot of supports. (I'm actually working on an variation that will split the piece up into smaller, easier to print parts. But it won't be ready anytime soon.)
