Simple Adapter Turns Your Tripod Into A Laptop Stand (Monopods Need Not Apply)
By Andrew Liszewski At first glance I worried that this adapter plate from Thanko that allows you to perch your laptop atop an unused tripod could lead to a nasty fall, turning your expensive hardware into a pile of unusable electronic bits.
