THE MOUNT / MAGSAFE

One day. Six months of actual use.

A MagSafe puck sits inside a small layered wooden frame connected to a tripod head. The build took one day, then spent roughly six months being used before it was published—long enough to discover whether the idea was genuinely convenient or merely attractive in photographs. The magnet makes placing and moving the phone faster than a clamp, while the cut files keep the mount reproducible. It is a tiny project, but repeated real use is a better qualification than an elaborate feature list. Sometimes the reasonable complexity really is reasonable.
