ok you need a piece of copper wire im using thick stuff for stability. im working on a thiner copper line /lines but thats another instructable also you need two plyers and a bolt that will screw in to your camera and two nuts for said bolt

Now Cut Off the Bolt Head

you might need a solid surface and pinch bolt with snipps and hammer the nippers ever so gently   or you could just leave the head on the bolt if its big enough to secure the copper line between the nut and head i had already cut the head off my bolt on another instructable and iprovised by using another nut

Now Screw a Nut Onto the Bolt

i hammer the end of the bolt and scare the threads and thread a nut  to the bottom until it screws no more thats what you want for the nut to stop

Now Bend a Loop in the Copper

you can bend the copper anyway to make  a stand or wrap around a tree / post or to secure it to a table or just stick it in the ground
