DIY Vertical Photos Tripod

DIY Vertical Photos Tripod
I allways wanted to take pictures of my stuff just like in the movies, with a vertical tripod. This is a very simple DIY project that can be acomplished with other materials, but I used what I had available from an older project.

Excellent idea. I have just found a use for an old digital camera I have had hanging around & another possible adaptation for you idea incorporating the cupboards above my packet handkerchief sized bench.

What a great use for a portable workbench. Very clever!

Wait...so you created a bracket to set a camera on so you can take pictures directly below the camera, but an adjustable table-vice is required and the objects to be photographed must be placed under the table? If I may elaborate on killerjackalope's suggestion of building a base - instead of building a base, why not extend the acrylic sheet length-wise, tap another hole, and attach it to a tripod? Although the camera would not be directly over the center of gravity of the tripod, the model of camera used in this instructable wouldn't have enough weight to topple a tripod. The additional benefit of a tripod is portability. You're not confined to taking pictures where your work table is. From there, you could easily adapt the bracket for use on a long pole to take pictures from higher up, but this would require a camera remote or use of the camera's built-in picture timer function.

It would've been good to see the camera in there, but if that's the only camera you've got... L

bah marlboro lights! those should be the reds way nicer in IMO nice trick though but instead of using the workmate table try buildin a base to hold the acrylice then having the legs set out far enough that on the widest angle they're just out of view, alloing for optimum photo-age....
