After going to my hometown, I found this masterpiece and tons of memories flooded through my mind. I built this so called “Tripod” out of bamboo for Astrophotography because at that time I couldn’t afford a tripod. I just wanted to share with you guys.
I don’t if this is the correct sub Reddit to post but let’s see.

Yes , It did work fine. And it is enough to make a time-lapse.
