Create A Tilt-Shift Camera Lens Adapter Using 3D Printing

3D printing is taking leaps and bounds in becoming more usable and useful for even common users. While the technology was once a very expensive enterprise, it is steadily becoming more accessible to everyone. Now, you can even create a tilt-shift camera lens adapter with the help of 3D printing. Read further to discover how.


Tilt-shift photography is often deployed by a lot of photographers. However, finding an appropriate lens to go well with this kind of photography is somewhat expensive. How about if we told you that you can create your very own tilt-shift adapter to go with your camera. All you will require is access to a 3D printer and some expertise at creating 3D models.

Once you have all these requirements fulfilled, you will need to determine the amount of tilt that you need for your camera. Joe Murphy created the idea and according to him, he has been able to achieve excellent results and was able to achieve a significant tilt of 10-12 degrees through the models created through 3D printing.

Even if you have created a model that slightly differs from what you exactly require, you can tweak it a bit on your own to fit it nicely with your camera. This way, you can create a tilt-shift adapter that costs you a mere fraction of the cost you’d pay for a regular one.
