Taking crisp photos without a tripod is difficult even with shake-free systems, especially at night when the exposure time is larger.
The problem with regular tripods is that they are pretty bulky and you cannot have them on you all the time (not to mention expensive). The Bottle Cap Tripod is a handy alternative to a tripod and it screws on a plastic bottle. As the name suggests, Bottle Cap Tripod is the size of a bottle cap with a tripod screw on the top so you can attach the camera after you screw the cap on the bottle. The Bottle Cap Tripod is small to carry in your pocket and use it whenever you want to take shake-free pictures. Just make sure the bottle is heavier than the camera or you’ll have the entire ensemble tumbling down.
The Bottle Cap Tripod is cheap too selling for about US $12.
