A tripod holder built for every hand, not just a steady one.

Interlocking teeth hold your phone or tablet firmly in place, and a 65mm palm knob tightens with the flat of your hand, no pinching, no fine finger control, no tools. Designed as a free companion accessory for filming your training with Video Replay.

A lineup of Video Replay tripod holders, phone and tablet editions, mounted on tripods and holding phones, tablets and a MacBook running the Video Replay app

Four cameras, four tripod holders, one training session: phone and tablet editions side by side.

Designed for low mobility

Built for people small screws and spring clamps work against

We designed this holder for people who find small screws, clips and spring clamps hard to use, including people with arthritis, weak grip, tremor or limited finger movement. Every part of the design choice below removes one more thing your fingers have to do.

✋ Palm-operated

Tighten and release with the whole hand pressed against the knob, no pinch grip or fine finger control needed at any point.

⭕ Big, easy-to-find knob

65mm across with 12 rounded scallops, easy to find and turn even with gloves on or limited dexterity.

🔄 Few turns

A coarse 2.5mm-per-turn thread means a few turns, not dozens, to go from loose to locked.

🦷 Teeth do the holding

Interlocking teeth carry the load once they're meshed, so you only need to tighten it snug, not crank it down with force.

📏 Sure positioning

A new locking position every 2.5mm along the arm, so your phone or tablet lands exactly where you left it last time.

🧩 No tools, no loose hardware

Three printed parts. No nuts, screws or springs to drop, lose or fumble with cold or shaky hands.

Not just friction

Held by shape, not just by how hard you tightened it

Most phone holders use friction: a smooth surface squeezed tight and hoping it stays put. This one uses 11 interlocking teeth, 2.5mm apart, locked together inside the head: your phone or tablet is held in place by the shape of the parts, not just by grip strength.

Phone and tablet editions share the same head and 65mm palm knob.
11 teeth lock together inside the head, 0.8mm deep, 2.5mm apart.

About Video Replay

Why we're giving this away free

Video Replay turns your phone, tablet or PC into a multi-camera instant-replay system: watch yourself train seconds after you move, from several angles at once. It's built for darts, golf, boxing, cricket and any technique-based sport, and it works completely offline: no AI, no cloud upload, no account needed. Your video stays on your own device unless you choose to share it.

Whatever your age, your ability or your sport, getting better is personal. Video Replay is built for your own improvement, measured against no one but yourself. But before you can review your technique, you have to actually get your phone or tablet mounted and filming, and for anyone who finds small screws, clips or spring clamps hard to manage, that first step can be the hardest part of the whole session.

This tripod holder removes that barrier. It was designed and created by 3D Origins as a free companion accessory for filming with Video Replay, specifically so a stiff thumb, a tremor or a weak grip is never the reason someone can't record their own training. Sport, and self-improvement, really is for everyone, and this is one small part of making that true.

Common questions

FAQ

Is the Video Replay Tripod Holder really free?

Yes. The 3D-print files are a free download on MakerWorld, phone and tablet editions, in PLA or PETG-HF. There's no cost to print and use one.

What do I need to print it myself?

A 3D printer with a 0.4mm nozzle (designed and tested on a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon or P2S), PLA or PETG-HF filament, and the free print files from MakerWorld. Full settings are in the spec sheet PDF at the top of this page.

Does it fit tablets as well as phones?

Yes, there are two editions sharing the same head and palm knob: a 246mm arm for phones, and a 297mm arm for tablets like the iPad.

Is this holder good for people with limited hand strength or dexterity?

That's exactly what it was designed for. It's tightened by pressing the flat of your palm against a large 65mm knob, not by pinching with your fingers, and it needs only a few turns rather than dozens. There are no small screws, clips or spring clamps to fumble.

When will it be available on Amazon?

We're working through the Amazon store listing process now. Until then, the model is free to print yourself via MakerWorld.
