Light bracket for tripod. Do it yourself for 1.50
by Editor on 02/06/15
I spent some time surfing the web looking for a bracket to mount an LED light to my tripod. Most of the ones I found clamped onto the stationary parts of the tripod, the problem with that is when you pan with the camera, the light doesn't follow. Before you ask, yes I can mount the light onto the video camera but that's where the shotgun mic will be attached.
So I decided to make my own...
Parts:
2x2x3 Aluminum angle 3/16
1 stainless steel wing nut
1 stainless steel 1/4 NC bolt, 1 inch long (cut the head off)
Tools used:
hacksaw
drill
1/4 drill bit
ruler
center punch
hammer
file
220 sandpaper.
Total cost:
$1.50 & a healthy dose of elbow grease.
