I can’t count the times I’ve tried to use a makeshift tripod. Balancing the camera on a friend’s shoulder or the back of a chair works sometimes and fails miserably at others.

There’s lots of people in the same situation, so the Bottle Cap Tripod is one of those “why didn’t they think of it earlier?!” products. It turns any regular water bottle into an instant tripod, so you’ll have a quick solution virtually anywhere. Even if you’re in the middle of a desert with no store in sight, you need to have some water with you.

Unless you’re planning to drink from springs and sleep under the stars, in which case a camera wouldn’t be the number one object on the “to take” list.

How much under $29.99?
A lot: $10 on CharlesandMarie.com.
