To get a clear focus during the shooting process, the camera or video camera must be securely fixed in a vertical plane at the right angle and at a certain distance from the ground - and in this case, it is better to use a tripod that is adjustable in height to stabilize the camera.
Good factory models cost decent money. However, a similarly designed device can be made with your own hands from available materials. Homemade tripod is convenient for both camera and camcorder. However, it is compact in size and does not take up much space during storage.
Manufacturing process
To make a practical and reliable tripod, the following materials will be required: three square rods with a corrugated surface 55 cm long, as well as two steel pipes of different diameters.
Using a grinder, in the upper part of the rods we make an oblique cut, and then we weld them to the pipe about in the middle so that we get a tripod. In the lower part of the pipe for extra rigidity, you need to weld additional jumpers from that square bar.
Next, you need to make a "seat" for a photo or video camera and fasten it with bolts to the upper part of the pipe of a smaller diameter with holes along the entire length that will be inserted into the tripod rack. This design will allow you to adjust the height of the camera.
After that, we clean the surface with a grinder and paint. It’s so easy to make a very sturdy and reliable tripod for cameras and camcorders. The main stages of assembly of the structure, see the video on our website.
