I often see Velcro being used on cameras, but it's usually used improperly.

For many people, using various accessories is an essential part of the media creation experience. Although I can design fully customized solutions for my own needs, not everyone is able to do so. Therefore, Velcro is a simple way to neatly attach items such as power banks, tools, and external solid-state drives to devices. However, these solutions are often not tidy enough. So, in this flashlight competition, I designed a set of parts that can be neatly added to your device via hotshoes, rails, or any 1/4 screw mounting holes.

This is a schematic diagram of all the parts. There are three sizes of Velcro panels, all using 20mm-wide Velcro. The cross-shaped mounting brackets allow the panels to be neatly angled to fit with the hot shoe or rail adapter.

Here, I used the hot shoe to install a solid-state drive and a microphone

The hot shoe adapter can be used to connect hot shoe-mounted items, such as video microphones, without the need to add Velcro. I don't mind adding Velcro to items like power banks, but I'd rather keep my camera equipment tidy.

Here, a small panel is installed on a 15-mm guide rail.

Finally, a large panel was installed on the protective frame of the main camera.

I use it to install a power bank for tracking the focus, and this is just an example. In this way, any power bank can be installed without the need to design a custom bracket.

On the day I designed this, I made a quick Allen key mounting bracket. I believe there's still more potential for this idea, and this was just my initial concept.
