Great Innovation! Congrats to Shrini and team. This can be replicated on large scale using Fablabs like one at Vigyan Ashram, Pabal - http://vigyanashram.com/InnerPages/TechnologyByCategory.aspx?TCategory=FABL… Vigyan Ashram is CIS-A2K's institutional partner involved in many Wikimedia activities. Let us explore further collaboration regarding this. regards, Subodh Kulkarni On Mon, Apr 20, 2020 at 12:30 PM Tito Dutta <trulytito(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Shrini, This is awesome and cost-effective. We will try to build one after the lockdown ends in West Bengal for our user group. Thanks for building this, thoroughly documenting and sharing. Take care, Bodhisattwa On Mon, 20 Apr 2020 at 12:39, subodh kulkarni <subodhkiran(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Thats a nice design. Reminded me of another one shared long time back by a senior wikipedian Shymal. Here it is: https://www.instructables.com/id/Copy-Stand-Cheap-and-easy-to-build/ That has a SLR camera. That can be easily replaced with a mobile phone. Worth trying out.
