Summary

Main Project Page : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:668017

Trying something different, instead of something that you have to tighten down, I decided to try using spring tension to hold a phone while attached to a tripod. In the build there is 3 holes to attach this to a tripod or an arm of you're creation using qInch parts.

In one picture I have 3 inch bolts as a rail system that allows the extension part move up and down. This is enough to hold a phone in place while using the highest placement to hold the spring. In the next set I have 6 inch bolts and using the lowest placement which can easily hold a 7 inch tablet.

Hardware Used

  1. Any length 1/4-20 bolts you need to match the height of the device you want to clamp onto.
  2. Three Nuts.
  3. Four 1/4-20 bolts that is 1/2 inch length to hold the springs
  4. Any spring size or tension strength you want to use to hold you're device.

You should be able to find usable springs at homedepot or whatever local hardware store. The springs I used for this project was from a set I ordered from amazon, its has a decent amount of variations for DIY projects.
