video 360 Degree Panning Tripod Mount
360 Degree Panning Time-Lapse Tripod mount is built from a simple kitchen timer, 3/8" long 1/4"-20 bolt, and a matching 1/4"-20 nut. All can be found at your local store for less than $8. First disassemble the kitchen time removing the other white plastic, and timer face plate. Then use a dremel to remove the top post which connected to the timer face plate. This will give you a flush surface to mount your 3/8" 1/4" bolt which will eventually screw into your camera. Glue in place using hot glue or some sort of epoxy for a better hold. Then glue or JB weld on the nut onto the bottom of the metal casing of the timer. This is where your tripod will screw into.
Have you tried taking video while using this mount? I would be worried that the ticking from the timer would be distracting. If you've tried it, how noticeable is the ticking?
The ticking is way to loud to use with video. With some more messing around you could muffle it. Maybe.
