Caroline Chen (ihatepink)  > Sports > DIY Bicycle Tripod Mount
The dollar store furnished everything I needed to mount my subcompact digital camera (Canon SD600) onto the handlebars of my bicycle. It was so stable that it even survived a fall! (see video footage of the fall at http://www.kyte.tv/ch/74664-ihatepink/154999-caroline-postride-retardedness)

Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > Gamble I took at my friendly neighborhood dollar store (though everything is now $1.09, that's still okay). 2-pc hose clamps with no indication about size of thread of the screw.
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > And whaddya know ... it fit perfectly!
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > Taking the hose clamp apart.
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > Just had to push out this screw.
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > And then push out the little tube things.
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > Another gamble - I found these really cheaply made chair foot covers. I thought they were some sort of cushiony fabric foam ...
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > But turns out they were an ultra cheap rubbery plastic! I proceeded to cut the bottoms off.
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > The rubbery plastic had a pretty decent grip on the handlebars.
Caroline Chen (ihatepink) > I bent the hose clamp out and the middle piece fell out - it's okay, it could be put back later ...
