A Camera Support
A device which, in many instances, will take the place of a tripod, can be made of a brass wood screw and can be carried in the pocket as easily as a pencil. The screw should be 3 or 4 in. long and 1/4 in. in diameter. Cut off the head and thread the end about 1/2 in. to fit the socket in the camera. Drill a 1/8-in. hole through the metal just below the threaded part and insert a short piece of 1/8-in. wire. Slip a washer over the end, down to the wire, and fasten it with solder.
Substitute for a Camera Tripod That can be Carried in the Pocket Like a Pencil
The device can be turned into a tree, post or a stick thrust into the ground, and the camera screwed onto it and adjusted to any angle.—Contributed by O. D. Turner, Seattle, Wash.
