I needed a quick tripod for a Flip camera.
I don’t have one of the fun little table ones.
I didn’t know where to find a bag of rice or beans or sand.
I didn’t want a huge one that is way too obvious.
I used what I almost always have available.
I used a styrofoam cup.
I also used some gaffers tape, but that was insurance.
Awesome tripod idea! I usually just sit the camera on the surface and try to hold it with on the top side but inevitably you get a little bit of wobble in some shots. The gaffer tape is a good idea. Might have to pack some in my carry bag as a just in case item.
And, it’s a good re-use of styrofoam cups!
Next, you need to make yourself a SteadyCam – it really works – Greg made one.
