This is version 2 of my “Smartphone Tripod Adapter”. It has been improved in two main points:

• the center of gravity of the smartphone is now directly above the fastening screw, which gives the tripod a more secure stand,
• the tripod adapter is now even more compact and lighter.

Description:

This tripod mount can hold almost all smartphones with its clamping range of 64 to 84 mm. It can easily be printed as a single part (“print-in-place”). No other components are required other than a rubber band. For smartphones with slippery sides without a case, self-adhesive silicone bumpers can optionally be glued in.

Printing Instructions:

Use a 0.4mm line with a layer height of 0.2mm. Print the object in the specified orientation. If possible, place the Z-seam as shown in the image above.

Assembly Instructions:

Before using the adapter, the assembly of one or two rubber bands is required. Using two rubber bands instead of a single one can increase safety. Smartphones with silicone cases usually hold well. For smartphones with slippery sides without a case, recesses have been provided into which optionally cut self-adhesive silicone bumpers with a thickness of 2 mm and an edge length of 7 mm can be glued (see pictures above).

Instructions for Use:

Before inserting the smartphone, please check whether the rubber band(s) are still intact. The smartphone could fall out if the rubber band(s) break. The adapter has a printed thread to accept the mounting screw. This printed thread can wear out. Check the screw connection for tightness.
