Say Goodbye to Toppling Cameras: Hack Your DJI Osmo Pocket Case for Stability

The DJI Osmo pocket camera falls over if you try to stand it up. The DJI Osmo pocket camera comes with an excellent case.
I decided to add some support legs to the case so I could insert the DJI Osmo pocket camera into the case and have it stand up without falling over easily.
This is my first design. I did not want to make any cuts or holes in the case or make any permanent changes. I used tape and some card stock to make slots for some legs on the bottom of the case. Initially, I was going to store the legs inside the case. But I decided to make some extra slots for them. So the legs could be stored on the outside of the case.
I think epoxy or hot glue would attach the legs in a more permanent fashion. In addition, it should be not difficult to add a grommet to a piece of wood on the bottom to allow it to rotate and extend out to support the case.
I was also thinking it might be fun to put some little wheels on the end of the support legs to allow the case to be pulled with the camera or inside to make a little gadget to record videos while the case is being moved.

I asked chat GPT to come up with a video description for me and this is what it came up with.

In this informative video, we'll show you how to improve the stability and versatility of your DJI Osmo Pocket camera. The DJI Osmo Pocket comes with a convenient storage case, but lacks a built-in mechanism to keep it steady on flat surfaces.
