Making Do With What You Have.

At the point of time I received the LG Viewty Smart, the phone was not yet released into the Singapore market, and thus we did not get any accessories for it.

Knowing full well that I would need a tripod to record my video, I had a look around my room, grabbed what ever ‘junk’ that was lying around and in thirty minutes, managed to make the tripod that you see to the left.

Things that I used : A roll of duct tape (I ALWAYS keep duct tape with me, it’s a lifesaver), a box of which used to be the product box for my Puma watch, scissors and my Joby Gorrillapod.

I cut the box into pieces as according to size of the phone, making sure to leave ample space to cushion the insides with sponge (also available in the puma product box) so that I won’t have any scratches to the phone.

Once I got the shape and cushions all in place, I used the duct tape to make sure everything holds strong, cut a hole at the bottom to fit the Gorrillapod’s screw head in, taped it further for good measure, and TADA my own Viewty Smart tripod at the cost of zero cents.

During the LG debriefing, some of the other bloggers quipped that they think LG should have like tripods and stuff for the Viewty, and I cannot help but smile at my making do with what I have.

The point of me saying this, is that life is such that we most probably will not get all the things that we wish to have. Sometimes it is because of pure bad luck, or doors not being open, or in this case, the thing we want does not even exist. So instead of moping around and complaining, why not make do with what you have? Sometimes the results might turn out to be even better :)

P/S. You should have seen my setup to do the video recording. Ironing board, hanging table lamp and my mom’s bamboo poles were all sacrificed in the name of art wakaka…
