Lego Tripod
This is a simple and versatile tripod to support a mobile phone. I made several to give as Christmas gifts. Please feel free to copy the design and give to your friends. It works with all models of mobile phones. Can be tilted down to 45 degrees. The phone can be used vertically or horizontally, and with an USB cable connected. A pair of old, super strong, technical pins are used for the articulation, so you can use the touch screen, and it doesn't fall backward. The retractable legs can be extended backward if needed, to compensate for the changed center of gravity. It is super compact.
