00:04 Tilt and Cut Glass to Fix the Smartphone

Take a paper glass and tilt it upside down on a table. Use a sharp cutter to apply two opposite cuts on the bottom part of the glass. The thickness of the cuts should be such that you can easily place and fix the phone into it. This way, the camera would remain stable while rotating or moving the glass. Hence, your recorded video would remain stable throughout.
