Cam Lever Mast Clamps

Spent some time yesterday working out a design for Spiderpole Mast Clamps. I wanted some thing that was easy to use in the field to keep the sections together on windy days. The Spiderpole is very prone to collapse under wind loading. I came up with the following prototype:

Design of the cam action lever was interesting as I found what I was looking for on the Mcmaster-carr website and downloaded the associated STEP files. This made it easy to import into Fusion 360. The base worked as is. I designed a pin to accommodate a #6 machine screw. The cam lever had to be modified to allow it to be 3D printed.

I used these parts to successfully test the concept and now have to layout rings for each section of the Spider pole.
