A lot of you have probably thought of this but for those who haven't and find sitting your mobile on a glass a bit clumsy this is a good solution for about $12, the only requirement is you find one with a strong bendable stem as this is. It takes a bit of force to bend it but that makes it more shake proof. I have the S part of the bend sitting on the table to make it even firmer. And the phone grasp is pivotal. Any others using this type of stand?
Expensive photo stand for cell camera: This stand cost a few hundred dollars. I built it out of a library book, an American Numismatic Society Journal of Numismatics and John Deyell's book in medieval Indian numismatics, Living Without Silver.
