DIY gorilla-pod

On a casual visit to SP Road, found a shop selling Loc-Line modular hose at Rs 99/pc. Couldn't resist to start off my DIY tripod build.

Parts:

1. 3 modular hose at Rs 99/pc

Bolt and Nut matching the size of the camera mount. Typically a standard size for most of the cameras.

small piece of Acrylic Sheet. I had few pieces left from my previous projects,it a 6mm sheet. A drill to make the holes for the hose.

Just took 30mins in assembling , and works great.

Unfortunately the camera is busy doing its job else where. [ these pics are from my N900 ]

will post the actual camera mounted on this soon.

Next step:

building a holder for my N900, to make it compatible with my new tripod

My new toy

Just bought this, there was an Indian made available in local electronics market, but the build quality was way to0 bad.
