Curiously Strong Tripod Mount for iPod Touch 4+

Curiously Strong Tripod Mount for iPod Touch 4+
This is a quick tripod mount you can build that will attach an ipod touch to any standard tripod. As an added bonus, there's enough material left over after making the mount to make a little 4 legged stand for it as well!

It should take around an hour to make! I made the one these pictures are of in half an hour, but I've done it before!

This can probably be adapted to work with an iPhone, I don't know, I don't have one!
the design turns out to be relatively similar to the Glif.
