This will keep your phone in one position and make sure it won’t slip. Make sure that the cuts are perfectly symmetrical. Otherwise, your phone will tilt to the side. Printers are good source of screws so find one. Better to use some strong wood such as rose wood.
If it’s too shaky, you’ll need to adjust the water levels in the water bottle until you’re happy with it. Take a knife and cut a circular hole in the head of the cap. The hole should be the same size as the head of the 500ml water bottle you have. So, DIY iPhone tripod construction can be both interesting and useful.
Step 4: Work With Plastic Bottle Caps
All you need is a mini DV case and 10 seconds to set it up. The best part about this DIY iPhone stand is portability. You can easily throw it in your pocket and use it as a carrying case for your earphones, in addition to using it as a stand.
If you’ve followed the steps properly, you’ll have the tripod ready as shown in the step 6. Let’s get back to work after adding 4-5 minutes to your day. The entire process of creating a phone tripod would cost you nothing, albeit it would depend on the resources available around you.
DV Case iPhone Stand
You can make this DIY iPhone tripod from cheap and available materials. Another advantage of this stand is rubber feet, as that will protect your phone from scratches. This stand is very compact, so you can easily put it in your pocket. It will enable you to use this handy tripod anywhere.
Additionally, further levelling can be achieved by taking a picture of the horizon and then ensuring the camera is level with that image. This will allow you to see if your tripod is at a good angle and straight for the horizon for shooting better photos. Additionally, look through the screen or shoot a series of short videos for a better idea of the horizon. Creating a tripod like this one is a little tricky if you’re using sections of wood or other material that don’t come naturally together. If you’re using small pieces like I did, you can use bolts and washers to connect each part of the tripod together. Make sure everything is tight, so it doesn’t go anywhere.
Step 3: Wood Work
For this DIY iPhone stand, you have to take plastic cards you don’t need. Keep in mind that this will help to position your phone only vertically. The tripod turned out to be strong enough and can support my reflex camera that weighs 700 g.
If all is well, you can begin setting up and using the tripod. When taking pictures without a tripod, your images will come out blurry due to the unsteadiness caused by unstable camera movements. However, some tripods can be expensive, or perhaps you need one asap and don’t have time to wait for delivery. In that case, it’s time to have a go at making your very own DIY tripod. Sometimes, if the tripod is too light or isn’t very secure, you’ll be required to further stabilize it to reduce shake.
Give a piece of MDF a square form drill holes. Attach a prepared piece of wood to the MDF with help of glue. Make the markings on these two pieces and cut along them using a saw. Then, take a few screws and attach the screw terminal on the back of homemade iPhone stand. Now you need three pieces of an electric wire. An elastic band will provide a tripod with nice flexible legs.
Then, take another shot, and confirm whether or not the photos are level with the horizon. Paint your parts with your chosen finish or colour. You can also paint both sides of your wood to make it look even more natural. You can use a deep wood stain or a paint with a finish that looks like natural wood. Now you can take stunning photos with your phone without any image quality sacrifice.
Making a fantastic tripod at home in 30 minutes. I love this idea because it recycles iPhone packaging that you would throw away otherwise. Take a plastic holder, cut it into two parts, one of which should be glued to the front.
They’re easily available at any coffee shop. Take one and cut a curve shown in the image. You should try to use a water bottle with a wider base if you want the best possible balance. The next step is to slot your phone into the slot created by the two flaps. There should be enough of a lip to stop your phone from tilting forwards or backward. Take one flap in each hand and push them outward, away from the cap.
I prefer to stop between 50-70% of the way. This gives the bottle a better balance and makes it less likely to topple over. Here’s a setup a DIY phone stand that’ll take you a few minutes to complete. It uses everyday household supplies and costs next to nothing.
Such stands can’t compete with expensive models, but they can be useful if you need a tripod fast and now. Study all above-mentioned ideas and choose the one you like the most. Spend some time and get unique support for your iPhone. Most people have LEGO at home, which means there is no need to waste money on materials to create such a homemade iPhone tripod. As a result, you'll get a colorful and impressive stand.
DIY isn’t usually synonymous with inventing. If you have any PVC piping left over, you can cut a longer 18” or 25” piece. You can use this longer piece to adjust the height of the setup by quickly replacing the relevant piece. Test the tripod stand out by putting your phone in the slot and shooting a video. Take the 500ml water bottle from the previous step and fill it with water.
Take two pencils and bound them together in order to make a horizontal support. You may need even more pencils to create a triangle. Use bent paper clips as the additional guard rail.
