Nearly Free iPhone Tripod Adapter

Starting with the 3G, iPhones have had the capability to take videos. There are times when it would be nice to be able to attach the iPhone to a tripod. There are several tripod adapters for the iPhone available. Unfortunately, they are somewhat expensive.

Here is a quick and cheap solution.

Step 1: Materials and Tools

Materials:
   1  -  thick wire coat hanger
   1  -  1/4x20 nut
   2  -  rubber bands  

Tools:
    pliers with wire cutter

do you reckon you could try one so that the iphone could sit sideways in the holder

I don't see why not.

You could bend the coat hanger on step 2 to fit a sidewards iPhone, or if your tripod allows you to flip the mounting screw so that it is horizontal to the base you would not have to change anything.

FANTASTIC! I would have never thought of this...and have been looking for a good mount. Love it!
