This is the concluding video of the wall mounted camera phone tripod I made. First impressions are that it works well, but could do with a few tweaks.

If I was to do over, the most serious change would be to make it somewhat shorter. At the moment it’s a bit longer than necessary and that puts undue leverage on the wall mount (and indeed the mdf wall panel it’s screwed to). This would hopefully reduce flex and therefore unwanted movement at the camera head. Anyway, I have written an instructable about the build process, so if your thinking you might like to make one yourself, or are interested in any other elements of this articulated tripod monster, you can check that out here: Camera Phone Lathe Crocodile.
