Hey guys new version up shortly stay tuned

I used an extra arm-swivel on the iPhone side, otherwise I couldn't turn the iPhone quite the way I wanted. The hole in the iPhone clamp is more M3 than M4, I had to drill that out; and the space for the hex-bolthead is too small. The fit of the iPhone itself on the other hand is a bit too loose, if you're not careful, the iPhone will slide out if the clamp is not level.

You need 1 M4 nut and 1 M4 bolt
2 M5 nuts and 2 M5 bolts
and two M8 bolts

you only drew one of the holes to fit the M4 nuts, the rest are M5

Strange, did you scale the design? The holes are definitely M4, not M5.

Oh, what did you design this in? This is a really nice design and I'm sure people will want to make derivatives for various purposes - if you uploaded IGES or STEP files it would be way easier to edit than STLs! Also, I include source files even though I use Solidworks and not many people do. They still get downloaded in that format pretty often, so do seem to benefit from source files even if the source program isn't that common.

yeah all done in solid works, ill upload the assembly and part files and some other file types for others to edit, definitely could benefit from a range of derivatives being designed!

Beautiful! I'll have to make an adapter for other phones.

fucking brilliant! no more shaky handcams

Excellent Job!!

What app is that for the time laps and do you recommend it?
