One thing a photographer often needs is a third hand. Whether its a reflector, a light of a camera, guranteed you’re going to need to hold something at some point.

I rigged up this little camera mount in a kitchen to shoot the fun stop motion video below, purely for my own pleasure. It’s comprised of a mini tripod and a unidirectional ball and socket clamp. See what you’ve got lying around that can become a photography prop and don’t be afraid to get the hammer and nails out. Some of the best photos are not made by cameras but by behind the scenes ingenuity.

Also, check out this video by Chase Jarvis. He’s got some great tips on how to get good photos with simple equipment. His latest blog post is about Levis latest ad and it uses stop motion.

This was shot by Ian Gibbons on location with Store Van Music this weekend while we were photographing. Great vid Gibbo.
