Triply-Able

Triply-able is a three-legged, pliable phone and camera stand which allows clicking pictures and recording videos handsfree while keeping the device stable. The product is an effort to achieve the ball and socket joint in non-mainstream materials instead of plastics, metals, etc. which have been traditionally used. This is a result of various explorations around the ball and socket joint that led to the combination of bamboo balls and papier-mache sockets to get triple degree of rotation. This freedom of movement allows the legs of the tripod to be moulded in any shape while still being able to retract to their original form.
