Curiously Strong Tripod Mount for iPod Touch 4+

 by Tomfhowe

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.

Materials:
-one altoids tin (you actually only need the lid!)

-some thin cardstock
-a 1/4" 20 nut (and a matching bolt if you want to make the optional stand)

Tools:
-straightedge
-sharpie
-tinsnips
-hot glue
-big pliers or a vice (to squish things with)
-metal punch or a drill (if you're going to make the optional stand, you'll need to put a hole in the tin.)
-a file
