Bottle Cap TripodOn the day when Sony announces a 7 megapixel digital camera, I find this product much more innovative and strangely more refreshing. Yes, it’s the World’s first bottle cap tripod, originating from none other than Japan. A veritable bargain at $9.99, but unfortunately it’s already completely sold out grin  (found via Still Journal)

Somewhat inevitably, now that the commercial version has sold out, somoen has posted instructions for making your own grin

I looked at the photo of this gizmo. Now everyone know what happens when you accidentally shake a bottle of soda. The last thing I would want near a shaken bottle of soda is my camera. The photo shows a camera sitting on a bomb of sticky stuff! smile

The homemade tripod you mention in your article is 404, but the one I made (which also got linked by Boing Boing and Gizmodo back in the day) is still valid. Directions and tutorial can be found here.
