Basically, find a bolt that will screw into your camera with medium (not too much) tension. Add a gray connector, and add a white rod to that. See 1st pic. Then, connect the white rod like you did on the other in Step 1. Before screwing into camera, add 2 or 3 blue spacers, since you want the TIGHTEST fit, because, you don't want your $300 camera to fall on your desk while recording a YouTube video (my scenario). I used 3 spacers on my Sony DSC-S650. Then, screw the bolt in, and you have just made a DIY camera Quad-Pod. In this instructable, I used my previous camera, since it takes horrendously horrible pictures inside. It takes good pics outside, but I am using my S650 on it. Virtually any camera will work with this, provided it has a tri-pod mount hole on the bottom. Have Fun!
