Foldable Wooden Tripod for Mobile and DSLR
I love creating useful things from wood that I can use myself. This time I decided to create a folding wooden tripod that can be used with the iPhone. I found the creation process very exciting, so I decided to also make a more durable version of a tripod for my DSLR camera or for a small light source.
The video is very highly detailed with a description of each step!
