Pvc Tripod for Camera

CAM07683.jpg

Since i was in need for a tripod to work, and there is no photography store close, i decided to work with some materials i found at home.

  • 3 3/4 pvc about 12" long (can be longer if you wish)
  • 2 elbows 90°and 1 45°
  • 1 T
  • 1 threaded coupling
  • a screw about 2" with nut.
  • black spray

You can see is pretty easy to asemble, light and cheap (no more than US 5.00)

i am sure is not as good as a profesional one, but it works pretty good.

PVC Parts for the Tripod

I had three 3/4 PVC pipe, 12" long with two 90° elbow and one 45°. also have a T and a threaded coupling (because one of pvc was a little short than the others).

Put the Pvc Parts Together

I put them just with some glue, but they can fit fine with pressure.

Drill a Hole in to the PVC T

I made a hole in the pvc T, insert a 1/4" screw with nut and thight them just enough.

I use some black spray to give it a better look, and thats it.
