Minor Making: iPhone Tripod Mount

How I modified a Contour case for my iPhone 3G to add a tripod mount. The mount is easily removed from the case when not needed. The Contour case holds the phone well, so unlike suction cup-based tripods or unipods, this isn't likely to let go and send the phone to the concrete. It took me about 15 minutes to mod the case with hardware I mostly had laying around in my junk jars.

Depends on how you mount it. It's easy to change. Maybe I'll do a follow-up video of that.

I guess this is how they make their commercials.

Haha, an iphone on a Bogen. Love it. The tripod is probably worth more than the phone.

But seriously, well made mounting system. Countersinking the case is the key. Nice work.

what if you want to record yourself on the phone, for instance, playing guitar?

without a tripod you're kinda effed.

not everyone uses their phone the same way.
