DIY tripod for sensation!

m.m.m · Nov 10, 2012

hi, I made a camera tripod for htc sensation, which needs nothing special to make.
first, I brought my old unused camera tripod, which has ability to remove its connection with the camera part, you can see it in the picture below:

then, I measured the width of its edge to make a part to connect the phone on it and put the part instead of the old part.
after that, I cut a part of thin wood to replace it with that part,
then, I needed a part that can hold the phone, so I used one of my unused mobile covers and glued it to a part of a wood and made the phone holder.
finally, I glued the phone holder to the part which I made before and made something like this:

then inserted it to the camera tripod stand:

sorry, I'm not good at English.

Very cool! I've bought cell phone tripod mounts on amazon but my HTC Sensation seems to be too big for them. LOL.

You should work on design before mass production

I like the camera, at least when shooting in daylight. Just make sure your lens is clean from dust and pocket-lint and whatnot. Dirty lens = blurry pictures..

great cam

For sure it is a great cam for a mobile. When using the right apps you can even make better pictures by rising the jpg quality.
i recommend to set ISO to 200 by default. the iso automatic destroys the pictures quality.

that's why the cam ROCKS!!!

I added this pic on the tripod for who interested to know the quality (pictures taken in north of Iran):
IMAG0670 (available from the attachments)
and these ones aren't taken by the tripod:
IMAG0735
IMAG0133
(I wanted to show the phone quality, not the tripod's.)
I'm not expert in taking photos.
that's why I love HTC Sensation

painted it and glued telescope hanger on it! (the telescope was originally for an old samsung device)
note that for better pictures, setting timer into 2s is highly recommended because of the touch vibration.
the pictures are dark because I set the iso to 100. after the sebastian's great job (kernel for sensation, otg without external power connector) I am thinking on adding two LEDs to the OTG for better lighting! sounds crazy!

and also a question about the pics I attached. why am I getting the little red dot in most of my pictures? it's near the hole on my computer chair cushion (used google translate for the word "Seat cushion", I mean the part that the head stays on it.

) is that a defected part of sensor?
