Building a device to hold your phone on your back with a camera capturing your POV is a fun DIY project! Here’s a step-by-step guide using parts you can find at Home Depot, Walmart, or Tractor Supply:

Materials Needed:

1. Phone Mount: A sturdy phone mount (like a tripod mount) that can be attached to a hat or harness.

2. Hat or Harness: A hat with a firm bill (like a trucker hat) or a chest harness.

3. Paracord or Elastic Strap: To secure the phone mount to the hat or harness.

4. Screws and Bolts: To attach the phone mount to the hat or harness.

5. Tools: Screwdriver, scissors, and possibly a drill.

Steps:

1. Attach the Phone Mount to the Hat or Harness:

• If using a hat, attach the phone mount to the bill using screws and bolts. Ensure it’s secure and won’t move around.

• If using a harness, attach the phone mount to the chest area using screws and bolts.

2. Secure the Phone Mount:

• Use paracord or an elastic strap to add extra security. Wrap the strap around the phone mount and the hat or harness, tying it tightly.

3. Position the Phone:

• Place your phone in the mount, ensuring it’s angled correctly to capture your POV. Adjust the position so the camera points in the right direction.

4. Test the Setup:

• Put on the hat or harness and test the setup to make sure the phone stays in place and captures the desired view. Make any necessary adjustments.

5. Optional Enhancements:

• Add padding to the mount for extra comfort.

• Use a wide-angle lens attachment for a broader view.
