Bottlecap Tripod
Introducing the Invention category, a new listing of crazy whizmo's that mad scientists have put together to make life simpler, easier, and lighter to carry in a backpack.The first invention I've spotted, is the Camera Tripod Bottlecap. Here someone's taken the time to detail step-by-step how to make one yourself--Making a homemade bottlecap tripod. It makes a lot of sense, and appeals to the traveller in me that never has room for something as cumbersome as a camera tripod. Don't worry Dustin I wouldn't trade the crooked picture of us in front of Centro Del Mundo for anything (we propped my camera up on a dirt mound w/ some rocks).
