Here is my version of the soda bottle tripod. It uses just a few cheap pieces of hardware:

  1. a short, course-threaded 1/4 inch bolt with a matching nut
  2. a 20oz or 2L pop top
  3. 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.
