Baofeng UV5R as base station radio

I am not too active on VHF-UHF bands, simply because here I have no local ham-mates to talk to. Repeaters nearby are reachable even with few watts, therefore I decided not to buy expensive base station transceiver for these bands. 

Chinese UV5R does the job, but in fact it is not too convenient. 

Charger cradle can be used to hold the radio, but it can be pulled out easily simply by holding the microphone. 

I wanted to make it a bit better... here comes the solution. 

It takes five minutes to create a stand like this. 

Only a jigsaw, some sandpaper and a hot-glue gun is needed.
