Watch the video to see how this goes together. You'll need some basic shop tools to make the aluminum and steel parts plus some hardware to hold everything together.

This cost me about $8 out of pocket as most of the parts were salvaged from waste or leftover from past projects. The lamps were only $1 each at my local clearance store which influenced this project greatly.

The adapter bracket (Pole_Mount5.stl) is only needed for the pole mount tripod, if you use a regular camera tripod you only need the pivot mount.
