GoPro Phone Stand for Astro-photography

thingiverse

I've started using my phone for astro-photography, but was having issues mounting it. I tried using one of those springy phone clamps, but had some issues: 1. They're a bit of a workout for large phones (like my S21 Ultra) 2. They often trap bits of my skin (ouchy) 3. They make it hard to adjust camera settings (eg shutter speed) So I wanted something really simple, a stand that I could just rest my phone on, nearly flat. Something small, that I could mount on a tripod. I couldn't find anything, so designed my own. Cutting a shape out actually increases strength due to more structure, and can reduce material and weight (though might take a fraction longer to print). If you have a particular design in mind, feel free to request it and I'll see what I can do, or you can just cut it out the plain one supplied.
