Made a mini tripod for no reason in particular. The ball head (from a 20 year old security camera) was missing a few parts, so I fabbed this up. Not sturdy enough for a heavy dSLR, but more than adequate for any POS… I mean, P&S camera, or my new Rode microphone. The legs are removable and there is a ¼-20 tapped hole in the center of the base to allow the ballhead to be used on a monopod for example or mounted to my camera cage/video rig to hold various accessories.
