Easy IPhone Tripod Mount

tri3.JPG
I have a mini tripod that I love to use on my digital camera. It's light, portable and an all-around good product.  Once I got an iPhone, I wanted to use the tripod for that as well. 

Parts & Tools

We won't need much:

clamp
epoxy
mini-tripod
7/16" nut & washer
iPhone with a hard case (not shown)

Glue on the Nut...

I cleaned the hardcase with a little rubbing alcohol to ensure a good bond.  Apply the nut and epoxy on the rigid portion of the phone case.  (I chose a "landscape" orientation for picture taking and video viewing.)  Clamp in place and leave undisturbed.  My epoxy set up pretty quick.

Final Product

Pictured is my phone with nut firmly glued in place.  I thought the nut would hang up in jean pocket, but so far it has worked great.

Where Is the Washer?

I used the washer between the nut and the tripod to ensure a firm seating.

This is my first instructable!  Thanks for viewing.
