I've been looking for way to hold my phone over the EP but didn't want to spend 50 smackers on one of those brackets so here is a really simple device i made to hold the phone:

I tried it last night and it works fine but i think its only going to work on the moon for now until i build up more EPs and Powermates etc. As a bonus i fiiddled about with the camera settings and found I can voice command it to take pics...well pleased with that. 


 


Just thought i'd share this with you my geeky friends..especially those on the 'DARK SIDE'.

Hmm that's a good idea!


 


I have a spare phone cover for the back too... Now to find something that resembles whatever that is stuck to it!

Its just a piece of foam Tobias that came with the case..though its not foam foam if you can see what i mean. I have another one (without the hole) if would like me to send it you.

That is mighty clever. Well designed and "engineered". You should apply for a patent.

Good to share these little home made modifications, can be easily copied and as you say, save loads of money.

Dr Dawson to you ;)

I meant others can copy your design; i wasn't casting doubt on the originality of your design :)

Right, the Saturn image-off has commenced! Haha
