Universal Cell Phone Tripod Mount

thingiverse

I wanted to create a hyperlapse of printing but I needed a smartphone mount for my tripod so here's the final result which seems to work exceptionally well. I designed it to fit a phone as small as a Gen 4 iPhone or as large as an LG Turbo in a rugged case. ***Update: I enhanced the screw to prevent the top from pivoting excessively, resulting in a better fit on the phone*** IMPORTANT: This print requires a 1/4 - 20 nut which can be easily obtained at any US hardware store for a low cost. This is necessary to mate with the standard tripod screw CAUTION: This mount is intended to hold a smartphone on a stationary tripod. I wouldn't trust it on something in motion. For a moving tripod, consider using an action camera mount instead. Also, please assemble and nearly adjust this mount before inserting your cell phone, especially if you're standing on a hard surface such as tile or concrete. Please exercise responsible handling of your expensive smartphones. Either print the STL with all parts (Cell Tripod Mount) or print 1 base, 1 top, and one screw separately.
