Monopod to Tripod Converter

thingiverse

I wanted to repurpose my monopod as a tripod during long hiking excursions without carrying both, since I incorporate this into my tent setup. This involves using a monopod that collapses into three distinct legs. Initially, I used a lighter on the flat extension surfaces and bent them for an even distribution, given that each monopod segment has a different length. By attaching a ball head, I can further adjust the leveling. I filled some Sugru in the leg openings and then wrapped the top of the "shafts" with plastic wrap to tailor the fit. Please ensure you scale up to 128% or 130% as the conversion from Sketchup was not entirely accurate.
