How to Create a Cheap Tripod for Your Phone!
How to Create a Cheap Tripod for Your Phone!
I needed a tripod to hold my iPhone when using FaceTime. Spent a total of $4!
I bought the tripod at a dollar store for .99 cents! Bought a bag of rubber bands for $1.00 and a 4 pack of binder clips for $1.50. I had the tape at home!
Take a binder clip and hold it open with one hand.
I put some foam inside to help raise my iPhone when it is placed inside.
Wrap a rubber band around the metal clips.
It's a little difficult to do. This is used to keep the lip of the tripod in place.
Grab some tape and while holding the clip open wrap it around a few times to keep it open!
Takes some time and strength to keep it open while taping!
Now to slide the clip onto the tripod!
Use a pen or pencil to get the rubber band over!
Once the clip is over the tripod wrap another rubber band around the metal clip and the tripod shaft.
See how I only wrapped the rubber band around one clip? This helps angle the phone.
It's ugly but it works!
I imagine you can use different tripods and tape so it looks more attractive. I just used a small tripod so I can use it on my desk!
