Here is my version of the soda bottle tripod. It uses just a few cheap pieces of hardware:
- a short, course-threaded 1/4 inch bolt with a matching nut
- a 20oz or 2L pop top
- one rubber grommet or washer

Drill, smash, or chew a hole through the center of the bottle top and thread the bolt through:

Tighten up the nut, make sure the bolt is perpendicular to the bottle top:

Jam on the rubber grommet washer thing, and you're done. Just throw the bottle top in your pocket next time you take your camera out with you. Whenever you need a tripod, screw the bottle top into your camera, screw the bottle top onto any soda bottle you find lying around, and take some steady shots.
