Hi Jay P. some great ideas here! I would put the magnet inside one of those thick party balloons to avoid scratching anything

It's great seeing DIY grip equipment getting some attention! I make the low mount rig frequently for cameras and lights. One thing I also do is use carriage bolts and t-nuts to put levelers on the corners of wood plates. Works for camera plates, platforms on set, shooting tables, just about anything.

I love the idea of having a rig in my kit that will allow me to get my camera in those tricky places to capture the creative angles. I really like the idea of using the magnet to get those really creative shots. Thanks again for all your and your crew do to give us inexpensive DIY solutions.

I found a TV wall mounting plate at a yard sale that I use for a couple bucks. It's about 8" x 8", super sturdy (holds a TV!!) so it can handle any rig, including a super zoom. Under $20 new.

Years ago I used an old metal mixing bowl my wife was throwing away. Just mounted the bowl upside down. I have jars of mix screws & bolts, so it didn't cost anything.

I like the magnet idea for cars...I never really trust the suction mounts. Maybe a small, thin cloth between the magnet and vehicle to keep from scratching?

Jay P, I just purchased a very costly chrome steel wall plate with a Rt-angle Baby Pin for a low-angle mount. Ouch! Works great but I'm still head-slapping myself for not walking through the hardware store first like you did. Slap-slap. Ouch. If I had waited until you posted this DIY video I would have more $$ in my pocket and some fun at my work bench. Thanks for the how-to!

I have a mini tripod with legs that open out flat so that I can shoot from ground level but also extend up to 18½". The angles of the legs are individually adjustable for uneven surfaces and I only paid about $39 (on Amazon) complete *with* a ball head that is Arca-Swiss quick-release compatible. Your $10 DIYs fail to mention that you needed to buy a ball head. A decent ball head runs at least $30 these days. And what's the point of the narrow part of the hinge? A simple flat piece of metal would do as well. Plus my mini tripod is easy and convenient to carry. RE: the magnet. Put a thin plastic shopping bag (the kind that are now banned) under the magnet to stop scratches.

Why using an expensive hinge where a simple and cheap connector is enough? Do you plan any mods making use of the hinge?

Be careful, don't use a magnet that's too powerful, you couldn't take it off the metallic surface. And the magnetic field could mess with your camera's electronics. I'd use a magnet that would support twice the weight of my rig, just to be safe.
