From my experiments with underwater tripods I learnt that weight is more important than a wide base for maintaining stability. This is version two of my plastic bottle tripod which I deployed in a gull colony and was pleased with the results. Construction notes:
- Painted 1.5L orange juice bottle (thx Charlies Orange Juice)
- Slit down the side for inserting 5kg of dive weights
- Washers on either side of screw through lid help with stability (flexible plastic lids introduce some wind wobble)
