Forså Camera Stand


Materials: Forså lamp, Camera holder (in this case: iPhone Holder for a bike)

Description: I needed a camera tripod or some kind of stand in order to film my drawings while I make them for some tutorials. So when I found a Forså lamp with a broken shade in the as-is-section of my local IKEA, I got the idea to make a camera stand out of it.




I removed the broken shade and the cable as I wouldn't need it. I bought a holder for my filming device that you would usually use in a car or on a bike. Basically, you only need something that fixes your camera properly on the remaining parts of the lamp. In my case it is a holder that you can turn horizontally 360° which comes in handy as you can always rotate the camera in a position that avoids parts of the stand being filmed. Besides, the moveability of the lamp itself makes it an extraordinary flexible stand!

So: clamp the parts together, turn your camera on, and off you go!

  4. Genius idea, and it gets just the right angle for bird's eye filming without any legs or stands getting into the picture. Nice work.
