I’ve been a Kickstarter member for awhile now, but this is the first project I’ve helped fund: The Glif iPhone 4 tripod. It’s a slick, simple little device that attaches to your phone and turns it into a tripod, as well as a stand, and an antenna protector. I’ve already got a tiny tripod for my iPhone, but it was so cheaply made that it broke in the first 48 hours of use, and is now limping.

I hope the overwhelming success of this project – which has already received more than 600 percent of the money it set out to raise – sends a message that there is a lot of demand for well designed video and photo related accessories for iPhone 4. It’s a great little camera, and with this, even better.
