Hi, Thats a nice design. Reminded me of another one shared long time back by a senior wikipedian Shymal. Here it is: https://www.instructables.com/id/Copy-Stand-Cheap-and-easy-to-build/ That has a SLR camera. That can be easily replaced with a mobile phone. Worth trying out. Regards -Sudhanwa

Hi Shrini, This is awesome and cost-effective. We will try to build one after the lockdown ends in West Bengal for our user group. Thanks for building this, thoroughly documenting and sharing. Take care, Bodhisattwa On Mon, 20 Apr 2020 at 12:39, subodh kulkarni wrote: > Great Innovation! >
