Camera Mount
by vasile, published
Description
camera on the edge of 1/8" thick sheet of material. The two halves
are identical, so two of them form the clamp. Pass a 1/4" x 20
bolt through the hole in the mount, fix the other side with a nut
(tighten until the clamp grips the material), and that bolt should
screw into the tripod-mounting hole on the bottom of your
camera. The camera will be held such that you can shoot pictures
parallel to the plane of the material.
To slide the clamp along the edge of your material, loosen the nut,
reposition, and retighten. To change the height of the camera
above the plane of material, use shorter or longer bolts, or adjust
the length by placing a second nut on the bolt on the side of the
clamp where the head of the bolt is.

So far, there is no precedent against copying for personal use. Nor have the file-sharing cases said anything about person-to-person copying between friends. Those of us who embrace a robust view of fair use believe that there are valid reasons for copying almost any book. Digitizing your textbooks so you can annotate them and make/share electronic notes comes to mind as a perfect use case.
Liberating out of print, creative commons licensed books. Or scanning your hand written books of poetry. What else would you use it for?
I loved downloading open source software, and free to share music off TPB.

We're mounting cameras to the Book Liberator! The Book Liberator is an open-source hardware/software project that will bring low-cost scanning of physical books to the masses. Our goal is super simple plans, dead-easy operation and low-cost kits/parts. We're getting close to a final design on our first prototype, and this clamp is one of the last pieces we need to stabilize. Check us out at bookliberator.com and feel free to get involved-- we could use a 3D printing expert on the team.

I'm very curious what you had in mind when you designed this? What exciting thing are you using it for?
