Love it. Thank you so much. I'd forgotten just how useful water pipe is for all sorts of lightweight construction projects. I'd never really thought of cutting pipe, warming it up and bending it to shape. This is "everyday genius" in action.
First off, GREAT VIDEO. Outstanding out-of-the-box thinking. My only comment is, if you're going the cheap route and you have a heat gun, instead of buying joints, just get yourself 3/4" piping and you can heat up the ends of the 3/4 inch pipe to force the 1/2 pipe into them. These can then be bent for the 90 degree connections or extensions(save yourself a couple of bucks).
The mount is an excellent idea. Simple, easy, low cost and good explanation. Thanks for your video!!! Excellent work mate! thank you for sharing your idea
I just finished mine and it works wonderfully! Thanks for the idea. I tweaked it slightly as well added the nut directly to the bottom of the pvc so it fits directly into the bolt.
The the hot glue in the legs is a good idea. This stand would work well with a standard camera too. You just need to make the mount for it. Thanks for making the video!
Nice! I've done a few mounts from belt clip cases and angle bracket tripod mounts. Love the simplicity of this design. I made one from 3/4" which I think works out great for the I6. still need to insert a plug and 1/4-20 hardware. I'm thinking my next version I will make a wood block template of the phone case to better shape the hot pvc, As well as a sanding block to fine tune the shaping
+onemouse1 That would work, but you would need 2 nuts, one for landscape configuration (videos, and pictures), the other for portrait (pictures). Cheers
stanfordcoffee there is no need to feel foolish. I prefere to build things by myselfe. It gives you the great pleasure of success. Really like your design.
USE Velcro. The best solution! 2 pieces of Velcro. One on the dash (or any surface you may want to attach the phone TO), and other either on the back of the phone (Or phone) case). Be sure to clean the surfaces with alcohol before sticking on the Velcro. Simple and works really well.
Thanks Jon. I resisted getting one for very long time, now I don't know how I got along without it. It's like having a computer with you at all times. And I've filmed 12 videos with it so far. Cheers
Stanfordcoffee. thank you. I just happen to have a piece of pipe that I cut a week ago. And I tell you, I am happy I came across this clip. I will be using some glue to place in the1/4-20 on the bottom, And maybe paint the pipe?Also some cushioning on the bottom and top inside. Simple to the point, very clear instructions demonstrated, thanks once againf or all your wonderful tips on how to FISH It's not a Glif but will perfectly do
Thanks. My phone has the rubber case, so I don't need any foam, and the pipe grips is very well. I put some felt pads on the bottom of the stand so I can slide it around, and it doesn't make any noise. Cheers

+stanfordcoffee a better way to mount it to a tripod would be to take a nut the size that fits the tripod and put it inside the pipe and ill it in with hot glue, if you know what I mean. but that's just my opinion. anyways nice vid. very helpfulthanks
+Jabber Jabbinski - Save the hot melt glue for wood and paper projects. Hot melt glue is terrible stuff; it doesn't stick well to metal or plastics, and the torque that one might expect on a nut mounted in the way you describe would rip it out of the pipe the first time you try to use it.
this looks Great,way awesome actually,if you dont mind may you please make a fast video on making the clamp ..like using your heat Gun or stove..then again if you dont mind.
lebza mauku I have to do that. I've had more than a few questions on how exactly to do it, It's not tough but if you've never done it, my verbal explanation might not have made much sense. Soon. Cheers
I use mine all the time. I found that the sand in the bottom legs helps to stabilize the Smartphone while taking video (if you're carrying it). I bend it around, until I find the balance point, and then it acts sort of like a steady cam. It illuminated a lot of the shakiness you get while filming with a smartphone. Just a thought. Cheers Yo uso la mía todo el tiempo. Me encontré con que la arena en las piernas inferiores ayuda a estabilizar el Smartphone al tomar vídeo (si lo lleva encima). Me inclino a su alrededor, hasta encontrar el punto de equilibrio, y entonces actúa como una especie de steady cam. Se iluminó una gran parte de la inestabilidad se obtiene durante el rodaje con un teléfono inteligente. Es sólo una idea. ¡Salud
This looks great, I can't wait to give it a try! I don't use PVC very often, so my main question is what would you use to cut out the shape of the holder? I assume you can use a pipe cutter to shorten the whole tube, but it looks a bit trickier to actually use that same thing inside the tube itself.

Great idea. Cheap, waterproof, non-corrosive, adjustable.
You're right. Very nice.
Old video but, 100% made from pipe! Awsome dude!
That is just what I was after! Thanks so much from Melbourne, Australia.
that is a genius idea for a holder for a cell phone.
This is great. I just made one and it holds the phone firmly.
Thank you so much of this
Abed Natour Glad to hear it, you're welcome. cheers

Great to hear, glad the idea help you. Cheers
I wish I could share pictures. I could send you some though if you would like to see the additions I made to it!
Mate, this is better than anything I saw in the stores and way cheaper :) awesome, now I need to get some pipes. Thank you for this great idea
+Ay Kay Fourty-Seven Thanks for the compliment. Cheers
Sweet! This is an excellent idea. I'm using this concept to create a mount for while I'm lying down on my bed.
The the hot glue in the legs is a good idea. This stand would work well with a standard camera too. You just need to make the mount for it.
Thanks for making the video!

Very clever idea ur a genius, u should make a ton to sell them and u could be rich, like u invented something
I just saw your video last night, and made my own this evening. I LOVE it! Thanks for the great idea and great video!
Glad you found it useful. Cheers
I like it! I think I might cut out the bottom, and heat it flat, jb weld a 1/4 nut to bottom, to use it on a tripod.
Thx for posting!
+onemouse1 That would work, but you would need 2 nuts, one for landscape configuration (videos, and pictures), the other for portrait (pictures). Cheers
This is so perfect! Possibilities are endless for this!
Another viewer made a selfie stick, adapted from this design. It turned out great. The link is further down in the comments. Cheers
recording the PC games it is use full nice👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Creative, elegant and efficient solution - thanks so much for sharing your idea!
Very nice, cosy project
Hi Stanfordcoffee. Nice DIY project. A few bucks and a little afford and nobody needs a Gorillapod :)
Nice job and thank you for sharing.

1000th LIKE, WHAT AN ANCHIEVEMENT!! You're brillian man.
Great. Thanks. Going to modify my phone holder.
This is a very good idea. Simple and inexpensive.
Thank You, and thanks for sharing it. Cheers
very clever gadget, some day I may get a smartphone. I'm still real old school.

Fantastic holder!
Great idea! Thank You very much for sharing! I'll do something like This for my Phone
nice, i didn't spend money cuz i have already the pvc tube at home.... i took your idea and made my own selfie stick, later i will post a video
Amaury Paulino Thanks for the great idea! I can use the mount, center pipe, and one 90º to make a selfie stick. Cheers

A simple, inexpensive, DIY PVC Smartphone Tripod Mount and Stand.

+stanfordcoffee could you screw pvc cap on tripod too, just using tripod bolt type and nuts inside of the pvc cap =)
mind blown, making one tomorrow
wow!! very much serious guy
Thanks for the vid. I needed a good idea to build off. Thank you
This is a winner

+Emily Louise PVC is very easy to work with. I use all my woodcutting saws. Just sand the edges when you're done cutting. Cheers
+stanfordcoffee Thanks a lot!
You're so clever thanks a lot
thank you so much!
This is pretty smart. Bravo!!
Nice!
great! I'll sub for that! 😊👍
veryy nice
that is nice
Very impressive design, you really thought of everything. Are you an industrial designer or engineer?
to stanfordcoffe yes ,to watch movies . used two clips .
where the demo on how to make the shaping holder...would be nice
This is what I need
Very nice
By seeing this video I can now make one for me :D
Origami How To Best of luck with your stand. Cheers
Great project, what if the phone holder is more square than that?
+Shan Liu You can make it to whatever dimensions suit you. Cheers
stanfordcoffee Thanks
used the same concept to mount a tablet to the roof of my wife's minivan .minus the stand.
To watch movies? Very clever. Cheers
Looks good.
thats cool brother
Nice work. Can u make a video on how to heat and bent PVC? "like" and subscribed!!!!!
+Seahorse Workshop There are many videos for how to heat and bend PVC on RUclips.
thank u
Does it work with old rotary-dial phones?
