Hunt alone? Make your own light weight and versatile bi-pod alternative for a camera or video camera.
This idea was originally published in the North American Hunting Club magazine as a reader submitted tip. It can be made for about $1.
The DIY lightweight camera clip.
Materials
-Binder clip
1) Clamp the binder clip onto a board’s edge and drill two ¼” holes in the top edge. These holes should be centered for width and spaced about one-third the clip’s length apart. Remember that the clip is spring steel. This means the leverage provided by a drill press, the advantage of a sharp bit and some lubricating oil will help get the holes done successfully.
Drilling holes into the clip.
1) Attach the binder clip to an arrow inserting the nock into the empty hole.
2) Screw the bolt into the camera or video camera’s mounting hole.
3) Position the camera and use its timer function for a self-portrait trophy pic with that GIANT doe.
A video camera mounted as an example.
4) Or, alternatively, attach the binder clip to a knife stabbed into a tree, clipped to a pack frame or even a tree branch. Heck, use your imagination for the endless possibilities.
happy hunting, dv
