At first I was going to do something like this:
But then I thought... #Stickvise! And this is the moment I wish I had a 3D printer... and a Stickvise ;)
I was about to work on something else when this idea hit me so it's definitely a spur-of-the-moment project. I imagine a pair of jaws big enough to hold a range of phones or maybe even a (small?) point-and-shoot camera and a 3D printed hinged base from which two metal shafts extend in a v-shape, something like this:
When I have time I'll make some models, let me know if you'd like to give them a try.

i can draw it up but I can say the male 1/4-20 thread won't print well, better to make from metal
Are you sure? yes | no
Maybe you can design it in a way such that you can slide in a nut from the side.
Are you sure? yes | no
I have used just a standard stickvise exactly like this, I even turned a tripod attachment for the end of the shaft!
Are you sure? yes | no
Oh, did I miss the write-up? Aren't you scared of the phone falling out of the standard jaws?
I'd imagine the tripod attachment has a hole for the shaft on one end and a treaded hole for the tripod on the other [is this even close to how it works ;) ] Do you think the tripod attachment would work as 3D printed part? If so (and if you have the time to model it) you should add it to the files section.
Are you sure? yes | no
that is more or less how the adapter worked if I recall. It was a hack and the std jaws don't hold a phone too well. Well enough to hold a phone for 45 min so my boss could film his kid doing a performance
