Phone Camcorder Mount (for motion tracking)

I designed this mount for video motion tracking, specifically to create retro found footage videos in Blender. It’s shaped like an old Sony Hi8 Handycam to capture more accurate wrist/hand movement, as if holding a real camcorder.

Instructions for use:

Place the phone on the side with the screen facing outward, then tighten the clamp to secure it. Use the selfie camera to record video. since most front-facing cameras lack OIS (optical image stabilization), this makes tracking easier. Record your movements and track the footage as usual. To get the correct orientation, simply parent a camera rotated 90 degrees to the tracked camera. And that’s it! Physically accurate camcorder-style motion using your cellphone!

The main body is compatible with a cheap universal camera strap i found from "Smallrig".

(search "SmallRig Camera Cage Wrist Strap, Universal Quick Adjustable Secure Grip Camera Cage Handle Hand Wrist Strap PAC2456" on google)

The design also features a top mount handle that can be attached with the included bolt, offering slightly more professional camcorder motion. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend extra to get it working.
