Pretty cool trigger,I think Ill do that next!

Here is what I done today for a monopod.


I went to Lowes and poked around for ideas.


I found this telescoping aluminum sprinkler riser for 5 bucks.




Here are the materials..about a whopping 8 dollars, not counting the expoxy and glue which I had.

Sprinkler riser, pvc cap and paint roller handle.






First I heated the roller shaft till it got the plastic soft enough to pull the steel free.




I then heated the plastic to get the "Y" a little wider.



Here is the wider "Y"





I plugged the hole with some JB Kwik Weld so when I glued it on the shaft the epoxy wouldnt run out.




I then set it up with some epoxy because of course the threads didnt match.




VOILA!! a poorboys telescoping monopod!




The 24"-48" gives me a pretty good range. It is good for seated, kneeling, and even standing with just a slight bend in the knees.
