Instructions on how to build a camera mount out of PVC. Once you've built this little device, you can attach it to any 3/4" PVC fitting, which allows you to build homemade monopods, tripods, dollies, crane jigs, steadycams, etc, out of very cheap materials. I wouldn't suggest using this method with a $10,000 camera, but you could really improve the quality of your home movies this way.
More videos will be coming, showing how to build some of this PVC camera equipment, as soon as I figure out how to do them. If you find new ways to use the camera mount, post a video response.
Speaking of which, check out my blog, where I've created a way to securely connect it, if that's a concern.

The first snippet of a song is the Unicorn Theme by Tangerine Dream from the Legend soundtrack. The second is me attempting to sing the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky.
