Fisheye Lens: Hook & Loop Strap: br Today we’re going to make a DIY action camera out of an old phone. An old phone with a smashed screen is almost worthless, but camera still works so we can use it for our action cam. br br Most real action cams feature a wide angle lens to get more close up action in on the shot, so we’ll need to spend $7 on amazon for a stick on lens. This kit actually comes with a few of them, but we’ll only be using the fisheye.br br You can use tape, or even a belt, but I used this two sided hook & loop fastener for 6 bucks.br br First, glue the fisheye on to the center of the phone camera lens. Be careful not to get any glue on the glass. I’m using hot glue so that I can peel it off if I make a mistake. The trick is to glue it on while it’s really hot, or the lens will likely pop off later. You can use silicone glue for a better adhesion.br br Next, we glue the strap to the phone, right on the end.br br If you were able to get free shipping, this whole hack only cost us $14, versus $120 for an entry level GoPro hero. This works well, but I’m sure we can still make it better. Share any ideas you have in the comments on a handlebar mount, helmet mount, or ways we can make this design more effective.
