Default Camera Mount

Well I wasn't sure were to post this but I was think people in here would get the most use out of it. I made a simple and cheap camera mount that works pretty good. It's just a sliding clamp and the top of a tripod cut off and glued together, it's fully adjustable. I am having a small problem with a small amount of play in the end of the clamp but I just glued it so it won't move now but have yet to test it. You'll be able to see it in the video, its what is causing the weird video warping, I'll let you know if it is fixed or if I have to dampen it some how, but hey for about $25 I don't think its too bad. Oh and TVT if you see this feel free to use the vid as you see fit as I have the 265 kit.

Beautiful, I love how when the camera's auto-brightness corrected exposure, all the windmills came into view. Where are those windmills located??

Its near Kashofen Germany. I did make the mount more sold and it made it worse, so I'm going to try damping it some how. I'm thinking of breaking it at the glue and putting a rubber piece in between the clamp and the tripod part.
