DIY camera/flash mount

Ok, so I half cheated, I bought the ball mount. It was from ebay and cost less than £5 so there is no way I'm going to build one. I'll also confess to cheating with the other half as well, I didn't make the clamp. I already had it but I had to drill the hole a bit bigger to fit the bolt through. So yes all I really did was bolt one to the other.

It's not perfect, a DSLR is too heavy and moves about a bit, but it will work fine for a compact camera or for a flash. I was thinking about drilling a new hole further up the clamp but there is supporting plastic on the inside that I don't want to drill out, I think it will weaken the clamp too much. Instead I'll keep an eye out for a better clamp to use.
