Gyll--

The first couple of posts here are about tripod mounts for a smart phone that's taking the photos/videos, but if it's to take a photo OF the smart phone, maybe a suction cup stuck on the back of the phone and attached to a support would work.  Double stick tape and Velcro tabs are other options.

Local creative Geeks,
      I have a photographer friend in need of a creative gizmo to hold an iphone for a photograph he is working on.  I'm sure those of you in these groups have an idea or a source for something creative. (to see some great and creative photos see Jim's web site he does a lot of automotive photography and architectural work.  http://www.jameshaefner.com/)  Post any ideas and I'll pass them to Jim.
Thanks for the input,
Gyll Stanford

Hi Gyll, I'm pricing out a project that has a shot similar to the attached image (sorry about the poor quality).  Where would you suggest I look to find a variety of techno gizmos which could have the ability of hold an iPhone?  Thanks, Jim

Not sure what exactly he's trying to do, but there are 2 solid options. If he doesn't mind obstructing the screen or something not looking pretty, http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=iphone+tripod gives a few promising results.

If he cares about how it looks (I get that feeling from the image provided), something like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14760. It could also be made with a metal stand (a beaker stand maybe?).

There's also plenty of iPhone cases on thingiverse. It should be a fairly small amount of work to take one of them and modify it to have mounting bits for whatever stands you have access to. You'd just need to find one with source files available in whatever 3d package you are comfortable with (OpenSCAD / Sketchup / Rhino / whatever). Suction cups on expensive technological devices sort of scare me.

Guys, Many thanks for your input, I am looking for something that is fairly hi tech looking.  The Grip Tight Mount is kind of interesting and I found another product called the Articulating Mini Arm.  If anything else comes to mind please send it along.  Jim
