11 dollar collapsable monopod.

Step 2 Buy the stuff.

Note: this is where you could make the design MUCH better for not much more cost. I'll get to that in the end.


I found these pipes that threaded together neatly and felt decently sturdy. They were super cheap, like 3$ a piece.

I bought:

2 pipes
1 joiner
2 end caps
1 1/4 inch bolt, long enough to go through an end cap and thread into the camera.
3 nuts to secure the bolt
1 huge washer to help steady the camera when connected.

My total was 10$ something.

Note: I bought some extras because I thought I would screw it up. so its actually cheaper than I said!
