A monopod can be just as good for high-end amatuer photos. Photography was my major in college, and I wound up using a monopod more times than one would imagine. Maybe even more than my $500 tripod. And, it was a homemade one. Didn't take that long to make it, just a little planning. Monopods are just much easier to transport.

Dualshock Phone Mount

Hello all.
I love the ability to play games with a controller on my phone but really hate that I have to hold my phone or put it on a table. So I found a metal plate, measured the controller and made this mount for my phone and controller.
It is very solid and works well. With some paint and an hour of work it will look a little more pro
Happy "modding" your own controller kit
Youtube link below and some photos

That is a good idea.
Great job.
I like to see when done and painted.
What phone do you have?

I have a SGSII. The good thing is that you only have to make the mount once and whenever you buy a new phone you just change the cover.
I watched you're video. I was hoping to see a tutorial of you actually making it.
I have a question, How did you attached the metal with the plastic???

The thread and thus the pictures above is about a year old and I have since replaced my SGS2 with a SGS3.
The design makes it easy to replace the cover on the mount to fit a Note (or any other device).
Pictures with the SGS3 can be seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29395051&postcount=197
My mount is my very own private fun-project and thus not for sale and I do not plan to mass produce it, but a new commercial mount have come up, the Gameklip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760595
It cost 15 $ + shipping. The design is rather similar to the one I made (tho a lot more beatyful ). Only disadvantage is that this mount is not universal, and thus do not fit all phones.

Buy the A100, yes or no?

1saleaday is selling it on today's flash sale for $170. I'm fine with the price, but I'm wondering if it's a good tablet? I'll probably be using it more for reading, internet browsing, watching movies while traveling, maybe very very light gaming. I'm comfortable flashing recoveries/rom's, using ADB, etc. But is it a decent daily tablet?
I love it go for it cost is very nice ...

Depends on you, really. For me its great, but less then great battery life and 1 bad viewing angle may make it unbearable for you. Me, I just learned my way around it. Only real flaws I'd give it in general, not counting defects. Wifi is a little on the weak side as well.

$170 is a steal for a GREAT ice cre sandwich tablet with minimal flaws. Much better than the kindle Fire, has FULL android (play store, google apps)...has hdmi (great for tv hookup and a good tegra 2 processor for gaming I would say go for it, it's one of the best tablets for the price

What about rain and mud and falls?????? You should try it with a otterbox defender or similar and possibly mount it at or below handle bar level. Just my 2¢… looks great though

Yep, I feel your pain. How do you carry it then with you on a bike?
I really like to use myTracks app again to capture trail elevation and my speed, which I used since I had G1, but worried about new GN ability to survive my crashes. Really wish next Nexus be Motorola with kevlar/waterproof qualities like in Razr Maxx (and good battery as icing on the cake).

i leave it in the pit area when i am on the track. i really have no need to have a phone on me on my bicycle since the only riding i really do is on the track.
for mtb however, i can see a use a device could have. if only there was a case for it like the gopro cameras...

OT. Help me pick a tablet.

Hi all. It's not often that I start a thread around here. Feel free to keep this going for other people looking to spend their gift cards.
So I am between 2 tabs: Nexus 7 and Galaxy 2 7.0.
From what I'm reading, it looks like the specs are a little better on the Nexus but it's really hard to be a deal I found on a refurb Galaxy tab on Amazon ($170).
The lack of expandable storage and HDMI concern me a little with the Nexus but all reports seen to indicate that it's just an incredible device. Plus if I get the Galaxy tab i kind of feel like I'm just getting a bigger version of this phone.... though it does have official cm support.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help with my 1st world problem.

I picked myself up a galaxy 2 7.0 refurb and I'm liking it. Just fyi, look at walmart online because they have it for $150 refurbish. Just check everyday because they restock often. I was thinking about the nexus 7 but two thing hold me off on it: the lift screen problem and the price.
What is the lift screen issue?

What are your thoughts on only having 16gb? I would plan on having a couple bigger games on it but wouldn't carry music or many movies.

You can pick up a moto Xoom for $219 on N1 wireless XD it has 32 GB of storage plus an SD card slot and a 10.1 inch display

Can't help with those choices but I have to gloat a bit...got an ASUS TF700 with the keyboard and am loving it!

I have the 7.0 plus tab and I love it. I bought my dad the nexus 7 16 gig and having played with it its a top notch device. If I were to buy a device from your choices I would pick the nexus but I would get the 32 gig one. I just believe you can never have enough memory. But I do love having an memory card and it makes everything so much easier. You can't go wrong with either device. I think it comes down to personal preference.
Note 10.1 hands down its just like the phone

Galaxy note 10 since it has mulitwindow
I jist got 2 galaxy tab 2 10.1 for me and my oldest son for xmas. I have to say its a great tab for the money I like it alot better than my nexus 7 due to size and my moms nexus 10 which is the same size but is missing a few features in lieu of bigger proc and ram. Which on the tablet you dont notice really since theres not a lot of phone related stuff running in the background. They also have sd slots for expansion

It's just my personal experience. I had the Tab 2 7.0 for about 5 months and now I have the nexus 7 since day 1. I have it mainly for the kids whether playing games or watching movies. I rarely use it for some reading and browsing.
I have to say there is no comparison. Nexus 7 is a LOT better. The screen is way better whether the specs, visibility, brightness or the dirt and finger print collection. Also, the speed and responsiveness. It is a lot faster and the touch is more accurate and responsive.
The tab 2 is better in terms of extra hardware. A microSD slot, a back camera and an HDMI port. So, if you can get past these, you have to get the Nexus.
I have 4 tablets now (well, the HP is now broken) and I never used the back camera except for testing purposes. Another thing is I never ran out of space. Of course this is very subjective. You can have a couple of 2GB games and that would clutter the space. Also, I have a Google TV and a Wii and they are my entertainment center (though not something to brag about).
So, for me, I would say: Definitely go with the nexus.
I never used a Motorola product, so I don't know anything about it. I just like the 7 inches size better than the 10 inches. It is lighter, easier to handle and the battery usually lasts better.
Hope this helps...
My gt2 10.1 is lighter than my kindle fire and barely different from my nexus 7. Having gps on it is nice tho makes turn by turn easy as hell to use while driving since I dont have to strain to see it. Plus the IR blaster is great my tablet now controls my tv, pc and satellite set top box. I dont use my nexus 7 much anymore between my note 2 and gt2 its become obsolete.

The Nexus 7 without a doubt. I have the 16GB version and I love it. I have used other tablets (Herotab C8, Asus TF 101) and have handled many others, and without a doubt the Nexus 7 is without a doubt the best I have used. Clean, easy to modify, and most of the development work is pretty stable. It is by far the best one going.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered the nexus 7 32gb from Amazon for $240 including a case. Now is a good time to buy.
Decided that hardware and probably 2 years of updates was most important. Can't wait to play Vice City on this thing!

Great thread. Im looking for a tablet. Nexus 7 looks like the best. I just bought the kids 2 cheap Iview 7 in 4.04 tabs. 1.2ghz There great for a 2 and 4 year old Lol. They came pre rooted! Yes my toddler has a rooted overclocked tab!! As I used them a bit a 7 in tablet is perfect. 10 inch tabs are big and midas well get laptop out. 7 inch tabs fit in back pocket. Let us know how you like the nexus.

May be coming back to the Note

Had the 2 and 3, loved it. I DE idea on the nexus 6 to try a stock experience, and the duel speakers. Frankly I really like the phone a lot, speakers are great, root and turn off force encryption and it made it run better. I love it. However, my brother got the 4 and I envy the camera and the screen. Tw on lollipop looks way less cheesy, and even with a large case, it fits better in my hand than my nexus with a very thin Spigen case. I found one online and talked the guy down to 350, in mint condition (supposedly in an otterbox it's whole life).. Thoughts?

No root or safestrap is a concern. I'm meeting the guy if he doesn't back out. 350 seems like to good to pass up in that kind of condition. Can always sell it.

use swappa to check the IMEI it's free before you hand out your $$
Guy stopped talking when it was deal time. It's all good. I'll keep looking for deals. Love the phone and bet a lot of people jumping to the s6, edge, or other. Thank you guys
