10 grams bottle tripod

cults3d

This is a small cap that screw into most soda PET bottle, embedding a camera tripod with standard whitworth 1/4" screw and a rotula. It allows holding a standard camera and orientate the camera in any position up to portrait. Obviously for portrait, the camera must be rather light to avoid it flips the bottle! (as a proof of concept I show it with a quite heavy Sony A6000 but it seems a bit oversized for a vertical picture!) It is a very light thing (10 grams) taking place easily into any pocket or camera bag, but this is a very robust tripod even if the camera screw is 3D printed. Its internal reinforcement with a M3 threaded rod gives it an incredible robustness. To use it, just find a correct bottle, fill it with around 1 liter of water, or sand, or even soda ;-) screw the tripod into the camera, tighten it using the nut, screw the cap on the bottle, gently tighten it to just allow friction rotation. That is ! Special thanks for this library: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8793
