nutshell: A binderclip attached to a headwrap and hair elastics allow you to wear your phone like a birthday hat or as a choker, allowing for 2 different camera angles. Its a two for one design.

Step 1: Adding Elastics to Binder Clip

1. Remove the clip arms from both sides of the binder by pinching them inward and sliding them off the binder.

2. wrap two of the thick elastic bands around the center of the binder and then carefully put the clip arms back on the binder

3. makes sure that the two elastic bands are in the center of the clip on both sides of the binder.

Step 2: Adding the Headwrap

1a) make a single cut in the headwrap with a pair of scissors.

1b) cut a pencil grip in half and put it to the side for later.

2. run the cut headwrap through the binder clip

3. take the two ends of theheadwrap and run them through the cut pencil grip.

This should be a little difficult to do. If so, use a toothpick or other tool to push the ends through.

4. Take a large hole bead for each end and run it through the bed. Tie the ends in a knot.

Step 3: Add Your Phone

1. attach the binder clip to the middle of the phone's side so that the phone is in horizontal orientation.

2. wrap the elastics around the other side of the phone to secure it to the clip

3. bring the clip arms up so that they straddle the phone.

Mounting Option 1: Choker

This option is a bit more comfortable and secure for your phone. Also, assuming you don't have a long beard, the camera angle being right under the chin is almost eye-level and captures fairly stable footage.

1. pull the design over your head and down to your neck.

2. Adjust the tightness of the design by pulling on the beads. It should have a snug/tight fit.

Mounting Option 2: Birthday Hat

While this option is a little less comfortable, secure, and stable, it provides a higher camera angle, which can be useful if in a crowded protest where you have trouble seeing over taller people.

1. Put on the design as you would a birthday hat, with the phone facing forward.

2. Make sure the headwrap is tucked behind the ear and under the chin.

3. Adjust the tightness of the design by pulling on the beads. It should have a snug/tight fit.

4. Once secured, flip the clips arms down onto your head on each side. This will help stabilize the clip.

Optional Adjustments

Consider wearing an additional headwrap over the device to help keep it secure. For those with long hair, the back of the second headwrap should go under the hear like normal.

if you have thin, little, or no hair, you may find the binder clip uncomfortable on your head uncomfortable. Consider adding some cushioning to the bottom of the binder clip, like these furniture surface protectors.

Congratulations, You Made it! What's Next you ask?
