Camera Phone Tripod Adapter

I was bored this weekend and I’ve been toying around with the idea anyway. Hence, I made this (the conveniently orange object):

The tripod and phone, of course, are not part of the project.

It will fit most phones, as long as it’s smaller than a HTC Desire HD with a bumper case. If you’re curious, the bolt used in standard camera tripods is a 1/4″ bolt with 20 threads (turns) per inch. Get a matching nut and you’re good to go.

The funny thing is, I use a Nikon D90. These photos was taken with Nikon D90, 18-200mm VRII lens with a SB-600 speedlight. I would have used my Velbon tripod (with a Vanguard ballhead) but I’m already so used to shooting with steady hands.

Cower in the face of cuteness!

Instructions for making one (the bonnet, not the baby) can be found in this blog.

This guy (actually that’s his girlfriend in the video) successfully built a giant NES controller. I guess no more swinging the controller for long jumps, huh?

And oh, it doubles a a coffee table/trunk too.
