Camera arm mount for Venture Heated Vest Controller

I just designed and printed a camera arm mount for the Venture Heated Vest remote controller. I use a Venture heated vest when scuba diving in cold water for added warmth and comfort. I recently replaced my old and fading Thermolution vest with a new Venture Heat vest. Typically, this controller would be mounted on your wrist or possibly hang from a bolt snap on your BC d-rings. I had the Thermolution controller on the same strap as my Teric wrist computer. Unfortunately, I found that the Venture Controller interfered with my Shearwater computer's electronic compass, making wrist mounting impossible for me. My BC d-rings were already quite utilized, making it difficult to find the controller in the jumble. I decided a better option would be to mount the controller on my camera strobe arms. I always dive with the camera, and this put the controller in easy reach while staying out of the way.

The mount can be attached to your camera arm with Velcro strips or zip ties. I used Velcro strips around the Stix foam floats on my camera arms, and it is quite secure.

To put the controller in the mount, place it diagonally in the mount, with the spring button angled up. Press down on the raised edge to snap it into place. I suggest attaching a small carabiner to similar clip to the controller and then affix it to the loop on the mounting bracket for extra security.

Print in PETG or ABS for best results. PLA is not great for underwater objects and might be too brittle to handle repeated installation and removal of the controller over time. (You much remove it to charge periodically.)
