Accessory: Bluemouth Kinect Camera Stand

G'day folks!

A while back, a viewer here asked me where they could find a stand for their Kinect. Well, here's a model! 3rd Earth's Kinect Camera Stand.
(Before we get started, sadly this device won't work on a box television set and is only designed for a flatscreen/HD/Plasma)

This device had a holdster for your kinect, snapping onto the base of your Kinect with three different clips: one on each side, another on the back and the last connecting connecting the holdster to the base of the stand itself. On this stand had two rubber grips, one on the front and another on the counterweight at the back.

To attach, follow these steps:

1: Clasp the Kinect base to the grip base.
2: Place the Kinect in the holdster until you hear the clips snap.
3: Stretch out the back counterweight until it connects to the back of your television set and levels out.

There is a slight risk that over time the rubber grips can wear out and slip, but so far there has been no evidence to support this.
After using this several times, I am extremely satisfied with this device. As my television sits on a low cabinet top, my Kinect always had trouble identifying me, as well as being unable to identify my voice. Oddly enough, the Bluemouth device had helped with both these issues.


For those who have trouble with standing their kinects on a solid stand or having problems with controlling the Kinect, this would be a perfect gift for the holidays. Cheap, effective and very useful.

Cost: $13.95
The Bluemouth Kinect Camera Stand is now available at local Toys R Us and Big W stores.
