Cell Phone Scanning Stand

I have a new book, where there are a couple of pages I want to digitize as an image. I don’t want to use my flat bed scanner and my big book scanner is being used on another scanning project.

In my Genealogy Tool Kits is a “phone scanning stand” that I have had, but not a reason to put it to good use. So, I thought I would try it. It worked so well, for what I wanted to do, that I thought I would share it with you.

This is a “plastic” covered cardboard stand that holds a Cell Phone over an item to be photographed. The yellow part, is what holds the cell phone at the top, and is the Stand. The blue part has the instructions. I am not showing it’s use, yet, as my project was to take photos of a couple of pages from the book.

Looking down from above the cell phone, down to the book.

Another View of the Cell Phone and the Light. The blue piece is in the picture to “hide” the table cloth.

Below is the stand without the Cell Phone

Here is the page being photographed. I am still not happy with the quality, but I know how to fix it. It looked good on the Cell Phone, but not as good as I would like for my purposes.
