Have you ever gone on a trip and wanted to take a photo but desperately need a tripod for the camera? A cool tip I just found over at digitalNomads has the simple solution and taught me something I didn’t know:
For anyone who has ever forgotten to bring along their camera tripodwhile traveling, this little tip may come in handy. It comes to uscourtesy of Dell’s Digital Life: Your Blog.Here it is: Just about every camera (even point-and-shoot cameras) hasa little hole on the bottom so you can screw the camera onto a tripod.Did you know, though, that the screw coming out of the top of a tripodis the same size as the screw that comes out of the top of many livingroom lampshades? That means, if you’re ever caught indoors without atripod, you can just unscrew the top of a nearby lamp and screw yourcamera on instead. Instant tripod.
