DIY Photo Booth

I wanted to attach my iPhone 5 (in its case) to my tripod. Here's how I did it...

A 1/4 inch nut will fix anything I use to the tripod...

I bent a piece if framing plate (from any hardware store). Then I drilled a 1/4 inch hole where I wanted the mount to fix to my tripod.

Here's the basic idea...

Using stick on Velcro strips (from any hardware/stationary store) I mounted my phone... Easy!

All I had to do now was add the phone and away I go... You won't believe how much better the images are now I can take photo's without shaking hands ruining the shot. Oh by the way... Attach a set of earphones with a volume control on the wire... You can take pictures by pressing the volume buttons on the wire, eliminating any movement of the phone at all!!!

Using cheep lights from a certain orange DIY store. I used low wattage (14w) bulbs and used tracing paper to diffuse the light. I also made stands out if 3/4 inch PVC pipe... Care of a fellow youtuber... Not my design... See the following images for the play by play... Enjoy.

Adding double sided tape.

Finished.

Lights on and very soft lighting, just as I wanted.

PVC stands we're easy. Go buy 2 lengths of 9 foot or 10 foot 3/4 inch PVC pipe. Ask the store to cut: 2 x 4' 8 x 7" 4 x 10" And buy 8 3/4" T joints. Everything slots together. Just look at this pic to figure out how. Or email me if you need a hand. Newtonwoodcraft@gmail.com

Oh and you'll also need a 10' x 20' white muslin cloth... I found mine on line.
