iPhone Camera Not Quite Cutting It? Make Another Then
February 16th, 2008
The Apple iPhone as we all know arrives with a built-in camera but for Scot Hampton this was only the starting point. With a little creativity and handy word Scot transformed his roommate’s iPhone box packaging into a fully working into an old-school pinhole box camera - with wind up hand-crank. Genius.
“I tried to keep it simple and the only external items I used were tape, tinfoil (for the lens), a piece of foam, and a leftover screw and tightener from an old ikea desk. Oh, I also used a black washer for the cover of the lens but that was purely cosmetic. I used the cardboard lining that was on the inside of the original box to construct the film holders on the back. I even left the serial numbers intact, so if my roommate ever needed to return it he could (I don’t think I’ll be switching until the phones work on other networks).”
Whether or not the pictures it takes are any good, you’ve got to admit it’s one of the most creative mods around at the moment.
