I wanted to make a tripod clamp mount to hold things like phone or flashlight. I found one from Instructables (JoeMurphy's "iPhone Tripod Mount on the cheap") but I could not find a nut which fits to the tripod screw. The threads between the screw and nut didn't match. So I needed to make different version with another method myself.

This is simple tripod clamp to make and it works!

Tip: If the clamp is too tight you can loose it by leaving it open over a night. Use for example a wood block as in the pictures.

You need:
-one plastic clamp
-tripod
-drill
-5,5 mm drill bit
-scissors
-rubber tape or some kind of cushion tape
