I was able to drill a hole in the center of the wood to create a hole that could be attached to a tripod-mountable screw I had. This enabled me to attach the camera to a tripod, and adjust the angle of the camera. I even tied a piece of cord around a hole at the end of the plank to tie to the balcony, in case of massive failure of the tripod.

			I was able to drill a hole in the center of the wood to create a hole that could be attached to a tripod-mountable screw I had. This enabled me to attach the camera to a tripod, and adjust the angle of the camera.

			===Ooooops.===

			The only part I forgot to secure was the back of the camera. Upon completing my brilliant tripod design, I promptly attached the tripod, tilted the camera, and spilled the back of the camera overboard and onto a second-story roof awning.

			So much for being a hardware hacker.

	My goal was to house the camera and get better stability/control than the terrible botched christmas-present wrapping of scotch tape that I did last time in [[RaspberryPi/Timelapse2]]. Shouldn't be too hard.

	I went to the craft store to get a a big stick, and I laid everything out in a natural way and taped it all into place. One of the big mistakes I made last time was trying to bend the ribbon cable attaching the camera to the RPi out of a natural position, which led to it popping loose inside of the camera housing. With this configuration, things have the space they need.		I went to the craft store to get a a big stick, and I laid everything out in a natural way and taped it all into place.

			It is nowhere near weatherproof... but the weather has been nice lately.

			My goal was to house the camera and get better stability/control than the terrible botched christmas-present wrapping of scotch tape that I did last time in [[RaspberryPi/Timelapse2]]. Shouldn't be too hard.

			The big improvement will come when the weatherproof Pelican case arrives, and I'll attach a weatherproof port for the camera on the outer housing of the Pelican. But in the meantime, here are some short-term improvements.
