Now you don't have to carry a tripod for your camera. Just use this handy bottle cap camera mount for those occasions when you desperately need a rickety camera platform.
UPDATE: I'm not recommending it - I'm just pointing out a strange invention. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

Interesting, but I think it is more proof that sometimes inventors just try too hard After all, there are also camera mounts for your hiking poles, your back pack frame, mountain bike handle bars, the ever popular 1 oz pocket tripod with the bendy legs for all terrain photography, and then there is the good old stanby that has worked for me, at least as well as a crappy bottle... any old boulder, ledge, tree branch or log in the immediate area! But I do find these interesting little devices you have uncovered very interesting, keep sending! _________________ -Dylan Anderson

I wouldn't trust my camera on that thing!
Try the Ultrapod or the Ultrapod II from campmor! It has a million uses! _________________

No thank you.
Boulders, trees, fence posts, and any other sturdy object will do fine. Has for years. Besides, is that a two liter bottle? I wouldn't want to pack that! My three liter CamelBak kicks my behind. |

Interesting but I am not going to pay $10 and shipping for a lid. _________________ Shikekeh hozhoogo naasha.

I've been using a Giottos P-pod with good results. It can be used as a monopod, bipod, or tripod, and the fluid head is a nice touch. |
