Cheap and easy iPhone video camera mount

Step 3Bend the bracket and mount the case

Bend the bracket and mount the case
«
  • Drill hole in the shelf brace to mount iPhone case.JPG
  • Mark where you want to bend the shelf brace.JPG
  • Put the two washers on the bolt.JPG
  • Bolt iPhone case to shelf brace.JPG
  • Tape iPhone case to avoid scratches.JPG
Mark where you want to bend the bracket. You will want to make sure that the case has plenty of room to swivel from side to side. Test this a few times before you make the bend!

Once you bent it (I used a vice to get a clean bend), it is time to mount the case. Simply drill a hole in the case, push the screw through the case and washers in this order:

Bolt ==> case - washer - bracket - washer - nut

Tighten it down enough to make the bolt be somewhat flush with the inside of the case, but loose enough that it can still turn pretty easily. Don't get it too loose or it will not hold itself in position.

You probably want to put some tape over the bolt so it does not scratch up the back of your iPhone.
