Thanks Fraser, good job with the pictures. It gives me some idea what to design. Looks like pistol grip is worth to buy instead of print.
I like the idea of modular case you attach either on tripod or microscope stand. Sort of Gopro case but with tripod mount female-screw.
The USB connection that sticks outs is fragile, so the case helps, also it would support ZnSe lens attachment.
