10 Unusual Uses for Tennis Balls

Step 10: Photo Mount

Your pictures are probably wobbly. It's not your fault. You're a full-sized human being operating a camera the size of a pack of gum with a super-sensitive image sensor. If you breathe, you've ruined the shot. And you like breathing. So much so, in fact, that you will do it even while performing photography.

Like any good Instructaballer, you know that a tripod will make a world of difference. Perhaps you, like me, do not own a tripod. Perhaps you have a surplus of tennis balls. Perhaps you do have a tripod, but require a counterbalanced ball mount for steadiness off the 'pod.

Here are some great options for the budding photographer and flagging tennis stars out there.*

• Lftndbt put together this tennis ball camera stabiliser, the iSteadii 2.0, which uses a tennis balls and some hardware to deaden any movement fluctuations that'd ruin your pictures.

• iectyx3c made a simple tennis ball tripod that you can use as a sort of Gorillapod-type base that can be placed on a variety of surfaces for stability and support. Optional mounting holes allow you to incorporate velcro, bungee, or suction cup attachments.
