A mobile tripod that’s small enough to fit on your keychain - Yanko Design

Tell me if this scenario feels familiar. Y'all're lonely, you lot've got your hands occupied, and you need to film something on your smartphone. Yous prop your phone against something on your table or counter, perhaps a tin can of coffee, or any stationary object you find effectually you lot. You switch on the camera, and as soon equally you compose your shot, yous tap the screen to hit record and your phone shakes. It'southward inelegant, and is what Indians call jugaad, or a lifehack. Engineer and ex-rocket scientist Jeremiah McCoy establish himself in a similar scenario and realized he wasn't the only one… and rather than relying on a worthless lifehack, he developed a more physical, appropriate solution to the trouble.

Essentially a tripod for your telephone, the Ultimate Kickstand is a minor piece of plastic, the size of a thumb bulldoze, and pocket-size plenty to fit on your keychain (information technology even comes with its own carabiner). Fold it out, and information technology becomes a phone-gripping tripod that yous can place anywhere, and even at any angle. Information technology works universally, gripping any telephone by the sides (you tin simply employ it in mural, unfortunately), and rests on two legs and a base. A worthy replacement for a coffee-tin, a couch cushion, or any cheap prop, the Ultimate Kickstand can be used to compose great shots of products, people handsfree (no more selfie-stick either!) The Ultimate Kickstand is currently 3D printed out of PLA plastic, merely I don't see why we tin't have ourselves a squeamish machined Aluminum one somewhere in the future. Did I as well mention that information technology's small enough to exist carried with you everywhere on your keychain?
