Chainpod – a fast, smooth and cheap tripod

February 10th, 2010

blurry photoBlurry photo´s is a history with a good tripod and here is a cheap one that takes no place. It can be heavy to carry around the tripod in all situations where simple solutions can be an option. They are also cheap. I found this with chainpod, as an easy way to get a more stable camera. Instead of a heavy tripod so you have a chain attached to a screw that fits your camera. You then cut the chain between your feet and the camera so that it can not move up or down.

There is also a great and simple instructions on how you can build one yourself. Cost of materials is quite small and it requires no expensive tools, either. What you should know is that it can damage your camera if you cut too tightly. All cameras are not so stable built. So you use chainpod at your own risk.

I will come to drag myself around on my newly purchased stand a lot. We’ll see if I get tired and test this solution eventually. If anyone is trying so you are welcome to come and tell us about your experiences in the comments.

Check out the slideshow that shows you how to build your chainpod.
