Thanks for viewing my instructable! If you like it, please vote for it!
This instructable shows how to make a lightweight, simple "multi-pod" that can hold a light camera such as an ipod nano or cellphone camera. Use it to hold or stabilize your cameras and for self-portraits or videos of yourself, you and your partner, etc.
Variations can be built for heavier uses. You can make the simple version in 30 minutes or less (not including curing time).

1. sugru
2. copper wire
3. needle nose pliers
For this example I used a piece of copper wire about 45 cm long and 1.5 mm thick. You can get this wire in bulk at most good hardware stores in varying gauges. 1.5 thick seems fine for a nano - anything heavier I'd use 2 mm or thicker. Obviously you can use whatever wire you like but I like the flexibility and patina of the copper. I just used one pack of sugru, but you can vary the amount of wire and sugru depending on your application and desires.

How has this holding up now ?
I would have made it so the iPod 'sits' on it more, if you see what I mean?
It would have been groovy (if not expensive and time-consuming) to coat the whole of the wire in sugru, the problem is this would require a LOT of sugru.
Excellent first instructable though.
