DIY Smartphone Lego Tripod

Hello guys,
I've recently bought a HTC Desire HD and the camera of this phone is just amazing, so i'll use it as a primary camera.
But the problem was the fact that I hadn't a tripod for this smartphone and I didn't know where to buy! And as every good hacker, i decided to do it myself.
Check out my instructable !

You'll need :
 - A cheap tripod (eBay, 3$ including shipping)
 - Legos (Free @home) : 6 pieces 4x2 ; 2 pieces 8x1 ; 1 plate 8x6
 - 1 bolt (To fit in the tripod, probably you'll find @home too)
 - Superglue (everyone has that)
 - Xacto knife
 - Pair of pliers

Prepare the Base

So,
First you'll need to empty one 4x2 Lego to fit the bolt it, like in the picture
After that , fit it and glue it inside the lego

Prepare the Mount Base

So just glue your legos like the picture.
Try if the block that we made in Step 2 fits tight and snug.
In my case, it does, so let's continue
