The Hillbilly Tripod

Here's a great weekend project that's pretty simple to make: A hillbilly tripod. This small portable camera mount might look more like a glorified hotdog roaster, but it gets the job done. The goofs here at Recueilli found that the whole project from start to finish takes about 30min. The hardest part was finding a screw/bolt that actually, fit into a regular camera mount.

To make a hillbilly tripod you need:
1 long screw/bolt that fits your camera mount
1 coat hanger
duct tape
wire cutters
needle nose pliers

Read More for instructions...

1. Use wire cutters to cut coat hanger into 3 equal straight lengths.
2. Use needle nose pliers to bend a small "u" on one end of each piece of wire.
3. Place the bent ends of each wire on screw making sure you leave enough screw to fit your camera mount.
4. Duct tape the bent ends of wire to your screw as tight as possible.
5. Add more duct tape to make sure it's tight.

Remember this is a hillbilly tripod.. don't try and make it look nice, just try and make it work.

No, I used my faster than the speed of light reflexes to take that picture using the same tripod you see in the picture.

P.S. I had a ninja as an assistant.
