Dwarf tripod
« on: February 01, 2013, 10:49:51 PM »
Hi guys

The Sea Cadet Corps that I spend my time with  has a cute little electronic shooting trainer... the "target" sits on a photographer's
tripod.  This is nice, but of no use at all for prone shooting, as the target is too high at the lowest possible setting of the tripod.

One could, of course, go and buy something to fill this need, but where is the fun in that?

In stead... :proj:

Here it is collapsed:



and here it is ready for use:



Happy to state that all of it came out of the scrap spare parts bin, the only out-lay was some shop time :ddb:

Cheers, Joe

Nice neat job Joe, better than off the shelf so to speak.
