Passenger brings tripod to hold phone and binge-watch on IndiGo flight: ‘Brought a studio setup to 35,000 feet’

A moment from an IndiGo flight went viral after a passenger used a tripod to hold a phone and binge-watched during the journey.

We have often seen people come up with unusual ways to keep themselves entertained on flights, but what happened on a recent IndiGo flight caught attention on social media.

The moment was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Gajender Yadav. (@imYadav31/X)

A passenger was seen using a tripod to hold a phone while binge-watching. The scene looked more like a small home theatre than an aeroplane seat. Instead of holding the phone by hand, the device was placed on a tripod and set up in front of the seat for comfortable viewing.

Binge-watching in the skies:

The moment was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Gajender Yadav, who posted a picture taken from behind. The photo showed the phone standing firmly on a tripod inside the narrow cabin space.

Yadav described the moment as “one of the wildest things” seen on a flight and wrote that a “whole studio setup” had been brought to 35,000 feet.

The post quickly gained attention online. Several users reacted with humour, while others called it classic desi jugaad.

X users filled the comments with jokes and funny reactions. Some praised the creativity, while others said the setup was strange but good for the neck.

One of the users commented, “It is very comfortable for the neck. Smart person.”

A second user commented, “Comfort viewing first.”

A third user commented, “Jugaad ka koi ant nahin. This is very good, though.”

“Have done it multiple times. Had neck pain. So tripod really helps you to bring the screen to eye level. Great if your flight doesn't have a mobile stand or holder, or screen,” another user commented.
