Introduction: Wooden Mag-Safe Tripod Mount for IPhone
This is a one-day project to make a wooden MagSafe iPhone tripod.
I use my iPhone as my main camera for video shooting. After half a year of use, I found this a very convenient device because it allows me to quickly mount and change the place of my iPhone.
It works well with iPhones that have MagSafe and also with iPhone MagSafe cases.
