Slim, lightweight tripod for small digital cameras

Do not use with heavy reflex cameras!

Inspired by nobock's “Telescopic Pvc Tripod For Studio Light”, but it's not a remix.

Extra hardware you need:

• Plastic tube, outer Ø 16 mm (3x 300 mm length, 1x 800 mm length).
• Plastic tube, outer Ø 20 mm (1x 500 mm length). Make sure, the inner Ø is wide enough for inserting the 16 mm tube.
• 1x hex bolt M3x16 or M3x20
• 1x hex bolt M3x30
• 2x wing nut M3

Additionally (if your camera has this thread), you will need a camera screw 1/4" - 20 UNC. Otherwise, you may print it, like this one (10 mm version).

To be printed:

• 4x Rounded foot
• 1x Base triangle
• 1x Camera adaptor A
• 1x Camera adaptor B
• 1x Stopper clamp

Assembling Guide:

A. Glue the four rounded feet to the four tubes Ø 16 mm. 

B. Glue the three tubes (Ø 16 mm/300 mm length) to the base triangle.

C. Glue the tube (Ø 20 mm/500 mm length) to the upper side of the base triangle.

D. Fit the tube (Ø 16 mm/800 mm length) into the upper side of the tube Ø 20 mm. The side with the glued rounded foot must point down.

E. Insert the hex bolt M3x16/20 to the stopper clamp and tighten the wing nut slightly. Check the stopper clamp carefully, it has a hexagonal hole for the hex bolt.

F. Put stopper clamp on the long Ø 16 mm tube and pull it down. Now you can tighten the wing nut to adjust the height of the camera.

G. Assemble camera adaptor A to camera adaptor B with the hex bolt M3x30 and the wing nut M3. Check the stopper clamp carefully, it has a hexagonal hole for the hex bolt. Now you can adjust the angle of the adaptor for the camera. Fasten it with the wing nut. 

H. Glue the whole adaptor onto the top of the tube (Ø 16 mm/800 mm length).

I. Fasten the camera with the camera screw to the adaptor. Now you can change angle, direction and heigth of the camera.
