Polar Align - DIY Skywatcher Tracker Phone Mount

Polar Aligning in the Southern Hemisphere...what a nightmare!!!
Well I was stoked when I found out about using the iOS App on my iPhone call PS Align Pro. This app helps me polar align my Skywatcher trackers in seconds! But the one problem I had was holding my phone to the back of my tracker when aligning and not drop my phone. So I had to find a way to fix that, and in this video I explain.
