Hook & Loop Smartphone Tripod Mount

thingiverse

Sometimes, I desire to attach my phone on diverse surfaces such as windshields, desks, and tripods. To achieve this affordably without using fancy clamps, I apply self-adhesive hook & loop strips at the back of my polymer phone protector. For the tripod mount, I printed a straightforward bracket to hold the hook strip. The dovetail design is compatible with Manfrotto tripods, but it may work for other brands as well. This bracket's height allows the phone to stand in both vertical and horizontal positions. To install, print the bracket with the strip mounting surface as the datum plane, requiring no support structure. Finally, adhere a hook strip to the desired surface. Easy and cost-effective!
