In a rare example of the Wired Jester linking to something both useful and current, here is a clearly, if laconically narrated video showing how to make a low-fi, low cost, portable replacement for a camera tripod. Hopefully I’ll get a bit of time this weekend or the next; also reminds me I need to borrow the Gorillapod flexible mini-tripod from the lab…
do they sell these in canada?
Took a look at that vid from your del.icio.us link, looks quite clever! Not used my gorillagrip much yet other than as a mini tripod for some close up work on a Darth Vader figure, but it seems ok.
