I have wanted a phone tripod for doing stop motion for some time, but this simple LEGO tripod works in a pinch. It features a tiltable and swiveling top as well as foldable legs.
Enjoy!

Follow the photos as you would do with regular lego instructions (aka: do what each pic tells you.)

Do the same
Put It Together

Pop the two halves together and your done!
The Magic

Now, the spider leg concept comes into play. This will allow your tripod to tilt slightly without it loosing any stability!
Your Done!

Squish your phone between the four prongs and squeeze them together to tighten the grip on your phone. If you have a phone case, it will help.
Thanks!
