Hood River - Schlosser Machine Inc

Okay, so I'm having fun with my ball camera, the Panono.  One of the problems I'm having with it is that I forgot to bring the tripod adapter with me.  This means that every picture I take has me, looking like a maniacal crazy, trying not to drop my ball.

Maniacal Crazy (and also a weird hand)

Also, when throwing the ball, it can't rotate very much in the air or it won't take the picture, so there are a few times where I miss pictures because the ball was spinning.

I had brought with me a baton type thing that I got from Panono, but when you take a picture with it, it makes your hand look weird...

So, what I did was I bought some barrel nuts and epoxy from a hardware store, took apart the baton thing, and tried to mount the barrel nuts into the handle.  Unfortunately, they didn't fit, so I went to Schlosser Machine shop and talked to John.  Although he was busy, he found time to lathe down the hardware and in no time, I could mount the Panono to a cheap tripod I bought a Walmart.

Problem Solved!
