I want to make my tripod stronger.So I use the 2nd hole of antenna aluminium sticks and put the cable code through it.

After then I take antenna aluminium thin pipe and put the same cable through it.

Again take the same cable and put through another antenna aluminium sticks and do vice-versa.

Do it until 3 antenna aluminium sticks attach each other and make Smart Phone Tripod more stronger.
