US Patent 10288987 Tripod accessory clamp

A tripod has a standard mesh and thread fitting for an adjustment handle. This invention bolts a bracket into the standard mesh and thread fitting. Then a cylindrical extension post is bolted into the bracket. Then a clamp base with an integral clamp is bolted onto the extension post. The clamp can secure an umbrella, a light, a telescoping mount for a smart phone and any number of photographer accessories. The handle is repositioned on a distal end of the bracket, so the tripod can be moved as it originally was with the handle.
