I had grand plans to build an elegant, good-looking tripod adapter for my fourth-generation iPod Touch, so the videos I shoot with it wouldn’t be so shaky. Today I said to hell with all that and just hacked together what I could from available materials. Who cares what a camera mount looks like, anyway?

You’re not afraid that the clip will damage the touch?
That’s what the gaffer’s tape is for. I wrapped it around the clip as padding, and it works quite well – good grip but no scratches.
