Smartphone-webcam support

thingiverse

Due the request consequent this pandemic, webcam prices excessively raised. I did some researches on the web and someone suggested to use smartphone instead of webcam. I tried this trick and I have to say that it admirably works. But I wanted a WEBCAM, I thought it was easier to use so I did some other researches and finally I bought it on Amazon a 60$ model with 50% discount. Well… trust me: a delusion. It is exactly like someone said on web: any smartphone you have is certainly better than any webcam you can buy. Maybe if you spend 300$… but it’s not my case. So I send back the webcam and I started to think how conveniently place the phone on my laptop. This is the result. You have to buy a tripod support and some screws but when you finish the work you will have a great HD webcam connectable via wifi or usb, with autofocus, automatic correction of light and so on.
