Essentials>24” PVC pipe

4 elbow joints

PVC glue

Hacksaw

1/4” drill bit

Measuring tape

AssemblyMy dad and I first cut the

PVC pipe to two 1 foot pieces and four 5” pieces. After

sanding the ends, we fitted the joints, without gluing.

Nuts & boltsAfter making sure all the pieces fit together, we drilled the holes in the two T joints - one for the screw on which the camera will be mounted

and one for the (shorter) screw that will fasten the removable handle.

Gluing With all the pieces cut down to size, sanded, wiped clean and drilled, we proceeded to gluing the whole thing together with PVC glue.

Assembly v.2We needed to make sure all

the parts (especially the joints) were completely

aligned, and that one T joint needs to be pointed upwards

and the other outwards.

Final touches + fittingWe up-cycled a rubber bottle cap by attaching it to the T joint on which my camera will be mounted. This would prevent any scratches on the

bottom of my camera, from being spun onto the PVC.

TA-DA!
