Glif on a Keychain

For the past few months several people have emailed us, asking about solutions for carrying the Glif around on a keychain. We actually had a keychain hole in our original design for the Glif, but removed it for various reasons, namely that it increased the cost of the mold quite a bit. The solution we came up with, however, is much better than a permanent hole in the Glif itself. 

The trick is to use the tripod thread as the means to attach the Glif to the keychain. I personally use the Podmount from Luma. It’s pricey ($15), but high quality. If you look elsewhere for something cheaper, all you basically need is a 1/4”-20 screw with a loop on the end. Please do let me know if you are able to find a cheaper solution. 

The great thing about this setup is the Glif can easily be removed from the keychain without having to remove the entire attachment. Simply unscrew the Glif to use, and then screw back on when finished.
