    You should make a version 2.0 for this!
    1: Add remote control for the winch.
    2: Add a pivot hinge above the magnet so you can adjust the view angle! (you probably need to add a weight to the paracord piece so it acts as a counterweight if you want to pivit the phone)

    Hello There, I've been looking for a motor like that. I've been wanting to use a similar concept but for a door handle where the motor would pull the handle up to open the door for someone in my classroom (door locks from outside, but stays unlocked on the other.) so I wouldn't have to walk all the way across the room or get a student to open it. We are required to have the doors locked the whole time, but it gets pretty annoying to have someone open it every time someone comes in. Curious if you've made like a button controlled door opener (maybe even wireless like a blue tooth connected one?) before if you have any tips for me, or a list of the electronics you used, that would be awesome. My Idea seems like a very Unnecessary invention, especially since I can just keep the door propped open and close it if we need a lock down, but just thought it would be fun.
