Make a cheap tripod adapter to hold a smartphone

You can make this easy, fast and cheap tripod adapter to hold your smartphone! It is small and light for backpacking.

Step 1: Obtain a 3" bulldog paperclip. You can get these anywhere that sell office supplies. You might have one at your office or at home right now!

Step 2: You need a nut that fits your tripod screw. It is a common size, but you might want to take your tripod so you can match up the nut. Look in your junk drawer, I bet you have one that fits it!

Step 3: Bend the finger tab so it will be 90 degrees and fit the tripod screw. A pair of pliers will make it easy, or you can just use your fingers if you are tough!

Step 4: Take some duct tape, cut two pieces and tape it down and around the clipping edges for extra protection. You don't want metal on glass or plastic!

Step 5: Attach to the tripod, screw nut on with your fingers and you are finished!
