The qInch Project : Spring Phone Grip
thingiverse
Main Project Page : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:668017 Trying something innovative, I decided to use spring tension to hold a phone in place while attached to a tripod instead of requiring adjustments via tightening. In the design, there are 3 holes to securely attach this device to a tripod or an arm on your creation using quarter-inch parts. One photo showcases three inch bolts forming a rail system that enables the extension part to move up and down with ease, capable of holding a phone in place even at its highest position while maintaining the spring's stability. In another set, I used six inch bolts positioned at the lowest placement which can securely hold a seven inch tablet. Hardware Utilized: Any length quarter-twenty bolts needed to match the device's height you wish to clamp onto. Three Nuts. Four quarter-twenty bolts measuring half an inch in length for holding the springs. Springs of any size or tension strength you prefer for holding your device. These components are likely available at your local hardware store, Home Depot included, although I sourced mine from Amazon for this project, offering various options for DIY enthusiasts to utilize.
