Smart Phone Pistol Grip for Camera Use. Video Demo and Scroll Saw Pattern.

I use my iPhone 6 plus to take pictures of the projects on my blog. I also use it as a video camera for personal use. This smart phone pistol grip really works well to hold the camera. Watch the video for all the details.

Here is the link to the $8 tripod mount I used in this project. Any Smart Phone tripod should work. In the next project I think I'll build a DIY tripod mount to attach to this grip.

The couple pieces of hardware can be purchased at Home Depot or any good Big Box hardware store. You will need a wing screw that is 1/4", 20TPI, 3/4" long. Also a 5/16" neoprene washer to hold the wing screw in the grip.
