I designed a 3D Printed tripod mount - manfrotto PL200

Nice job.  A few thoughts/suggestions.  If you can find a way to remove some material it would keep the device from holding in heat.  After 5-10 minutes of video that body gets pretty warm and you need to release some of that heat to prevent damage to the works.  And if possible, find a way to give the adapter more clearance for phones with cases.  As shown it seems a bit shallow.
Very nice effort and outcome.

Good ideas, definitely I will put some "vents" on the sides. I was going for maximum stability in my design.
RE phone connection, I don't think I can change it, I latch on the lighting connector to have a safe hold and the device can not dislodge even if it is inverted. Maybe I can make the tab 1mm thinner but it will be too easy to break I think.

:-)  Stability is a good thing.  Take a look at the DJI design for their upcoming mount.  That may give you a hint where 'venting' could be worked in.  I understand about the thickness of the part around the connector.  Again, maybe a look at the DJI accessory would give you a design hint.  I'm envious at your skill of design.  Thanks again.

Cool! Thanks for sharing

Very nice and sturdy looking, I went with the GoPro mount as I have the “el grande” pole and several other mounts to use.

I should have said that I did not design this piece, I was going to but found the ready made one on thingverse.
