You what sucks? When you’re out at a party and you decide to take a group photo, but no one wants to take it because then they don’t get to be in it. Then you spend an eternity taking turn being the photographer so everyone has a picture with one random person missing. Not only does that blow for the person who has to be the odd man out, but it’s incredibly time consuming. I mean, didn’t I mention that there was a party going on? Helloooooo! Priorities here, people. So you could try using that handy self timer mode on your camera, but then you have to find the perfect height for the camera using anything that’s within arm’s reach – magazines, matchbooks, CDs, etc. Then you gotta worry about the picture coming out lopsided or the camera falling over at the last minute, which would pretty much ruin the whole photo op. And seriously, who’s bringing a tripod with them to a party? No one, unless they’re completely lame. So what gives?
Next time, save yourself the hassle and bring the Bottle Cap Tripod (Perpetual Kid, $9.99) to the next party you attend. This camera tripod is itsy bitsy compared to a normal tripod, which means that you can bring it basically anywhere without a problem. The black cap fits over any standard water bottle cap, so you get a sturdy camera stand without any fuss, and the universal mount fits all compact cameras. The mount itself can pivot up to a 15 degree angle to allow you to modify the camera’s perspective. So all you have to do is put the tripod on a bottle cap, attach the camera to it, and get ready to take a picture.
Just a quick note: make sure that the water bottle you use is at least half full or else it’s not going to be able to support the camera weight. Also, please don’t go and try to attach a huge professional camera with a telescopic lens onto the top of a miniscule water bottle. You have to know that it’s just going to topple over and break the camera into a million zillion little pieces. And I don’t want you to come crying to me when that happens because you already know what I’m going to say.
