In desperation waiting for a cheap umbrella stand to turn up from the far east, I ended up making 2 adapters with some odds and ends I had lying around in the cellar. The umbrella stand never turned up, and seller offered to send new one, which I now no longer need, because the home made ones work just fine. I got refund instead.
I used an Ikea metal 'L' shapped plate as used to secure Billy bookcases etc to the wall. On the long end I had to widen the hole slightly to slot over the tripod screw thread. I suggest marking the point to widen with a pen so you widen at right point. Widening was simple enough with the help of a screwdriver jiggling around in the gap of the fairly thin metal. I then drilled through a small piece of wood for the size of the umbrella stem, so it fits fairly tight, but you can still get it in and out. Then I joined it to the Billy support with 2 small screws. As the tripod can move all angles, you should have a pretty versatile holder for about 10 minutes work. Click to my Flickr for step by step photo instructions on what to do. click here for pics on how to... ![]() C&C welcome. Suggestions on how to improve design also welcome. Steve |

I'm going to have to change my name from Berlin_Steve to Cheap_Skate_Steve. Here is another money saver for those wanting an a33/a55/a580 external and telescopic microphone for under $10
And to make myself even cheaper, just 2 pics posted. Full instructions on my flickr. Click here... You'll probably need to buy a microphone like this under $5- example in Ebay. I am not affiliated in any way with the seller, nor am vouching for him/her as a preferred dealer. Just that this is exactly the microphone I have, and it works better than the on board one, for $$$peanuts. ![]() ![]() It'll take approx 14-21 days for delivery, and 14-21 minutes to assemble. No soldering required. Please ask your mum if you are allowed to use her scissors ![]() |

That looks quite ingenious! I guess you could even record sound during macro filming this way. I'd be worried about the sticky tape though. I'd use tie wraps.
