Make The N82 To Stand By Itself - Great For Self Portraits & Timer Mode

Being a camera centric device, I was really disappointed when I learned that the N82 can’t stand by itself. You know, there are times when I need to snap a scene and I want to be in it! I want to be in the picture! I want to take a shot or record a video of myself, both hands occupied. This is easy with a tripod (which i don't have) and such but isn't it way easier to just place my phone on a safe and flat surface, set the timer, then prepare to put a beaming smile on my face. I can do this by far using most mobile phones like the N95 but with the N82, a big cross on the face.

That's what i thought, but fortunately, there’s a trick. Most of you guys might already know about this a looooong time ago, or even before the N82’s birth. But I just thought it’s nice to bring this out for all our readers. Mustis73's video on how to do this, after the jump..



Nice isn’t it? It’s a bit inconvenient but it works for me. I do this most of the time. What do you think? Do you use this trick often as well or do you know other tips to make your N82 remain still? Share with us! ^^
