Is this a silly idea? [bicycling]
Feb. 25th, 2021 12:46 pmFollowing up on my questions about book scanning - I wound up using my smart-o-phone for the project (although now that I'm allowed back on campus I might use the photocopier-scanner instead because it can do an automagic right-sized PDF).
Part of using the smart-o-phone involved balancing it precariously on the camera stand. That got me thinking about smartphone clamps that interface with a camera stand and whatnot. And that got me wondering whether there's a way to then hook up a smartphone clamp to bicycle handlebars, instead of purchasing a purpose-built bicycle smart-o-phone holder.
But would that cause too much futzing, or would it actually be a nice way of simplifying bike handlebar bracket life?
I could then imagine using the same handlebar attachment with a GPS or something of the sort, too. I mostly just like the thought of having more versatility in the bits and brackets that I buy, so I don't wind up accumulating quite so many random chunks of plastic.
Hmm.
