Archibald You must be quackers!  More info | Nov 08, 2014 20:36 | #6 I made a camera stand for macro work. It consists of a sturdy wooden basket of approx 2 liters (quarts) and has a sturdy wooden handle. A ball head is mounted atop the handle. Underneath the basket are 3 'legs', actually wood screws, with just the heads protruding. So it is a tripod. The basket part is filled with rocks to give it stability.

You failed to tell us what you want to put on the tripod. A great tabletop tripod for a small point-n-shoot could very well be totally useless with a larger camera such as a DSLR with a large lens mounted. Skip Douglas

Sorry, didn't elaborate. I know that what you mount is important.

Lens........LOL, well, no secret project, but I would have assumed that you would think a short lens of some sort. Not a 100-300 or something like a 400 for tabletop.

Not a 100-300 or something like a 400 for tabletop. I am using a 17-55 and a 28-135 to do some tabletop and (within 6 or 7 foot) photographing. I have been given several options that I like. Thanks The real question that would need to be answered is whether or not your lenses have tripod mounts on them. If they do, the camera/lens can be more balanced on the tripod and a smaller tripod can be used. If the camera will be mounted to the tripod with a lens hanging off the camera, then the rig is unbalanced and a wider footprint would be needed to support the rig. Skip Douglas
