Who woulda thunk it?
The following:
- Drill with 1/4-inch bit
- Screwdriver

- 1/4-20 stainless steel lock nut
- lid from a 20oz bottle

Of course, you can’t help but wonder: what if your camera’s tripod mount is off-center, as pictured above? Do you have to hold the bottle steady while taking the picture? Even if that’s the case, it’s still better than those impossible-to-keep-still hands mother nature’s cursed us with. In any case, bottle-holding is probably a requisite for any bottle-camera combo, given that the wind can easily tip over the top-heavy setup.
