How do I Add a mask to a model train video.
I have recently started taking videos from a small camera mounted on a carriage on my HO layout. Although the footage looks good, the view of the ceiling, and peripheral scenery distracts the view.

Cell Phone Stand
Someone posted about making a cell phone support, a while back, and the idea stuck in my mind. Yesterday, I decided to make one for taking pictures and videos on the layout.
I started with a scrap piece of plywood about 2.5 inches wide and slightly longer than my phone. I ran down to my local ACE Hardware and picked up a 1/4 inch dowel and a 1/4X20 t-nut (total cost $2.00). I cut 4-inch sections of dowel to support the phone.
