Ever had fingers in your pictures? Ever dropped your precious camera? This grip will hopefully eliminate that.
Parts You Will Need.

Mini tripod with ball head, EVA Ball (mine is from a car antenna ball). Dismantle the ball head from the tripod.

Use a sharp pointed knife and make a hole in the EVA ball. Don't make it too big as the EVA stretches. You want that. The hole should be 1/2 the size of the ball head. (pictured is my prototype, bit rough on the edges)

After the hole is made.. Put some glue in the hole of the EVA. I didn't because Eva is kinda grippy. And if you made the hole just right it would just fit and grip the ball head just fine.
