I didn't mean it to be scathing. I am truly sorry that it was read that way. I looked at the post the day it was posted and couldn't work out how it worked, or what all the parts were. My description was what it looked like to me, not a judgement on whether it as good or bad, I re-purpose thing all the time. I meant that my interpretation of what the parts were and how it was assembled was probably a long way off mark, that I hadn't understood the picture, not that the holder was in anyway rubbish...jeez. That photo isn't on Photobucket, I think it is a direct upload.
I have a friend who regularly uses his phone, in his hammock, to watch videos he has down loaded. I am too much of a luddite to get anything more than video clips on to my phone, but can see that having something to hold it for longer use would be good. It never crossed my mind that it might be a bracket for shooting phone video...luddite, remember. Neat solution for that too.
If you had PMed me and told me you thought I was posting like a berk, I might well have gone and deleted/changed MY posts, since it was not my intent and I didn't mean to come over that way, but you went for replying here and quoting me. Thanks for pointing it out all the same, I will try to improve my posting going forward.
I know that lithium batteries are not meant to be sapped by cold, but it has happened to me on various occasions when my lithium powered cameras and phones have had their charge halved or more overnight. Maybe it isn't permanent, but having to warm the battery up again to get it to function, when you want to be using it, isn't for me if I can help it. My old Nokia dumb phone died one cold night, and didn't revive till I got it home and plugged in.
