In this video I give a short 10 min video on building a ground pod. I illustrate some of the parts and techniques needed in creating an awesome wildlife tool.
Nice gadget! This will be very useful!
I am going to make one by using a large flower pot saucer and have it upside down
Nice..... Thanks for watching !
Thanks from Spain!
Thanks for watching !
Hi great video can you tell me is that a plant pot holder as not seen one that thick kind regards Steve
Hey Stafford, forget about the ground pod ! I wanna know where you you got those glasses you where rockin'.... thanks for sharing your ground pod project very cool. I am off to check out more of your channel! Say'in hey... Greg
Lol to be honest I think it was lowes hardware??
Thanks for watching !
Nice and handy improvisation...I am thinking of getting a sturdy monopod base with a ballhead attached to it for low level photography of shore birds...thinking of imrovising it by placing it on a frisbee like plastic light weight material so that it can be slid over grass or sand ...I have a lumix G85 camera with a leica 100-400 mm lens...would like to have your advice if this is a workable option...thanks.
An old aluminum pan. You'll glue inside the wood disk with already the screw inserted. Done. And it's perfectly watertight and rust-proof. Can support up to 5kg like a Sigma 150-600 extended without loosing stability and capsizing
Yep Pretty easy, my newer versions have some additional add ons.... but hey you can make it work for pretty cheap.
Thinking of getting the SIRUI P-36 Monopod Adapter P-36 Kit-Tripod Base+Adapter for P-306/P-326 Monopods since I have the Sirui P-306 monopod ...and add to this the wimberly monopod gimbal head would give me the flexibility to shift from near ground level to Tree top level as the situation arises...basically want a light everyday set up...mostly i can comfortably handhold the Leica Lumix 100-400mm lens for stills but for videos and waiting shots , the monopod and Gimbal head will be needed to keep things steady and free the arms.
Hi, nice video. Question: which screw do you use exactly? I mean the One of the groundpod where you put the head on. Can you tell me lenght and diameter?
Yes sorry wow, I am using a 3/8 inch screw that is about 1.5 inches to 2 inches in length. Sorry for the delay . Hope this helps.
Just watched like the idea. Just one thing I would change. I would counter sink the washer and nut so your head sits right on the base. This would make it more stable.
Yep right on. I have changed things alot since then but thanks for the input and watching...
very interesting
Thanks For Watching !
en mi caso, la base es un plato de madera de los que se usan para servir el rico Pulpo. Un disco de madera en el centro y atornillado a la base y una rótula pequeña que me permite estar aún mas bajo. Precio de todo el conjunto no llega a los 5€, mas barato imposible. Lo uso principalmente para la fotografía de aves playeras.
Excellent very cool !
Nice outfit. I would like to do one but dont have all the tools. You mentioned you could build one if anyone wanted. I would love get one from you if you can make!

Xmax to you my man...
Hi Stafford, would love to get your homemade ground pod. I am in Sydney Australia. Would you be able to ship to Australia? Thanks. Colin
Colin, Yea, I think I can set you up. I have it on amazon and ebay. I usually do not ship overseas but can make an exception. see if you can find it on ebay or amazon named GROUND POD FUHS PHOTOGRAPHY.... If you cant write me back and we can work something out. Thanks again...
Stafford where did you get the large plastic base?
amazon under planting subjects.
Hello, i was wondering what's the plastic object did you used? Thanks
Plastic planting bowl from amazon.
What are you using for your base?
Flower Planter OR Frying Pan works
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE well I thought of a flower planter, but what you are using looks like a heavy duty version. Thanks for getting back to me.
What is the purpose of Hook?
ahh the hook helps clip on to your backpack. When you carry alot of gear you want to be able to just hang it off of the backpack.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thanks a lot for your response
Why no shots of the bottom of it on your product page?
Sorry not sure what you mean ?
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE the bottom side of the pod. You don’t show it on your webpage or the ebay page.

Did you get your inspiration from watching David Attenborough wildlife programs ???????.. they often use RC Camera disgused rock / animal ..
I have not but probably should.......
"I've kinda just used... a duffel bag or sand bag in the past"
Rest of us trying to drop gear weight, this man doing cross fit on his way to location. Some people just built different! /s
No doubt I use this because it is much lighter than the tripods i have and much more compact. I tried sandbags and nope too much weight but the camera bag / duffel bag works really well..... Thanks for watching and chiming in.
That fluid head adds way too much height. An adjustable gimbal head will get you lower by a few inches. Other than that, great set-up.
Much thanks for watching. Yes nice think is with the setup you can put any head on it you want giving or taking away a few inches depending on the grass or foliage.
