There have been times I would have liked to take photos at or near floor level, and the tripod doesn't go low enough.
What are some options for putting the camera on the floor, but keeping it from moving when making adjustments and operating the camera?

Critiques always welcome...
You can invert the centre post on many modern tripods, then get your tripod as low as it will go.
Second post needing movie gear.
Make or buy one of these.

It would be easy to make a low base with a 3/16" bolt. Put tripod head on base.

Yes, and should I go to the shop today, I can post a picture of one I made. (Typo Peter? 3/8"?)Originally Posted by Peter De Smidt
1) Mount a ball head on a piece of plywood.
2) Shoot straight down into a 45 deg front surface mirror. SEE the Spiratone Circomirrotach.http://www.thecuckoofarm.com/cuckoo/.../spircirco.php

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
Go get a used disc brake rotor-cut a circle of plywood over the area of the lug bolts-bolt it down. Now drill a hole in the center and mount a tripod head.
Typo or brain difficulty.

I like the disc brake rotor idea.
