Tripod Attachments?

[cw1]

Are there any attachments availiable that you can attach to your tripod that could be used to rest your camera on while taking a time delay snap?

Some options below:
See below from Joby the Gorillapod has adjustable feet that wrap around a Tripod for example, there is also a magnetic version.(€25)

Also a cheaper option is to get a mini tripod and secure this to the trpod with camera attached, it has an adjustable head so as you can set the camera position correctly.(€approx 6 -7)

Dont know if the magnetic gourella pod would attach to most tripods seeing they are usually made from Aluminium.


Nice idea all the same, im sure there is a clamp of sorts which could be attached to the tripod?

like one of these? mini tripod and clamp. i think mr golds should look into this in more depth i,m sure a simple enough job to design something to go on a tripod for under 8 quid would sell like hotcakes

I think that would be the ticket there!

Cheers for that lads! Are the tripod screw holes/threads on most digital camera's universal in size?

[Gbre1]

Not sure about that................but the gorilla tri pod above, should certainly do, as its legs are flexible and can wrap around anything and stay secure!

Im pretty sure the screw attachment for digital camera's are universal.

There are two different thread sizes for tripod points. 1/4-20 and 3/8-20. Most cameras have the 1/4-20 size

thanking you! Might try out some of the above ideas. Just have to catch the fish now............

maybe try bankstick and camera adapter

The Gorillapod will certainly attach to a tripod, torch version review is here - http://www.planetseafishing.com/reviews ... illatorch/

If you have a look at the photos in the gallery you'll see the 'pod wrapped round the tripod head.
