I did some looking around after posting about this cool Bottle Cap Tripod and found a DIY Bottle Cap Tripod version that is right along the lines of what I would make.

"Master parts list:

  • 1 1/4-inch Stainless steel washer
  • 1 1/4-20×1 1/2-inch stainless steel pan head machine screw
  • 1 1/4-20 Bar Knob
  • 1 1/4-20 stainless steel lock nut
  • 1 lid from a 20oz bottle

Tools required:

  • Drill with 1/4-inch bit
  • Screwdriver
  • Wrench

All parts for the project were purchased at Lowes. Total cost is $3.37, not including the Pepsi."

    Hey its cool and all, but isn’t this either a unipod or a quadrapod? — Count the nubs on the bottom of the bottle. Unless there are three feet, its definitely not a tripod.

    Interesting idea. However I imagine it requires liquid in the bottle for it to work, and it’s not exactly leak proof. One wrong move and you’ll have a water damaged camera.

    Hm you don’t necessarily need water you could use sand, marbles, and ect

    Actually, bottles (here in the US at least) have 5 nubs, making it a pentapod, I suppose.
