Tripod Pills

I've this idea when I didn't found nothing to fit my needs: a tripod to my cellphone.

This phone have a nice 2.0 mp camera but there is no hole to screw a conventional tripod base.

You will need just:
- cd marker
- cutter
- empty vitamins flask
- an optional saws.

Watch out! Do not cut your hands with cutter. It's quite easy to forget your finger in the path when you are cutting flasks.

Marking

Using a cd marker pen cross out a cross on flask surface as wide as your cellphone dimension

Cutting

Cut on marks and fine tune the borders of the holes. At this point do some fitting tests, putting cellphone in the holes. Tip: the plastic can be sharp and scratch your phone or cut your fingers. Pay attention. Move smoothly.

Flask Dividing

At this point I prefer be using saws. Some borders of the flask are to much strong and using a cutter could slip in the middle of flask and ruinning the job. Tip: It is better puts the top cover before starts sawing. It turns flask structure more tight and hard. This resistence is welcome when sawing.

Finishing

That's it. Enjoy your new tripod and use with automatic trigger. Now it's time to you shows up in your own photos.

Tip: it can be used as cellphone craddle (rest base), when not in use. Using it this way hints one to not take it for recycle garbage on housekeeping (:-)
