Camera Mouth Holder
Ever wanted a 3rd hand to take pictures of yourself doing an instructable step ?
Either you don't have 3 hands (like me), nor a tripod (which can be unpractical in some cases). Asking friends for help until you're satisfied with the shot will surely strain their patience.
This mouth handle will allow you to take point-of-view pictures and let your both hands free.
