iPhone 5/5S Otterbox Tripod Mount

thingiverse

My web-blogger wife has taken her social media strategy to new heights by broadcasting more Facebook Live videos than ever before. She enlisted my help in finding a solution to connect her iPhone to our trusty tripod, allowing her to create engaging content without having to hold the phone herself. As it turns out, Facebook Live videos are shot in portrait mode, but with her iPhone 5S Otterbox case fitting snugly in place, she can easily tilt it into landscape mode and capture stunning footage. One thing worth noting is that I had a bit of trouble removing this design from the print bed once it was complete. To overcome this challenge, I used the tripod baseplate as recommended and designed the entire project using OpenSCAD. While I'd be happy to share the source code with you, I'm afraid it's a jumbled mess of numbers that I'm too self-conscious to make public.
