Repairing a Camera Mount

I had a camera ceiling mount snap from being over tightened. I tried epoxy but that didn’t work…..

I had used a thread library before to make pipe fittings so I thought I’d give it a try. I just measured the threads and whats left of the collar.

I decided to make it a bit larger to make it easier to grip. But then again that’s what started this problem…..

Not bad.

Since I already replaced the mount I may remove the stalk and use it as a ceiling hugger for a new install…..
