GoPro DIY egg timer
What is needed:
- Flat top and bottom kitchen egg timer (I got this one from Walmart but IKEA also has a great one of these.)
- GoPro adhesive mount (does not need to still have adhesive on it. I reuse these all the time removing old sticky from the back. These can then be glued onto different mounting locations.)
- 1/4″-20 tap (This is only needed if you want to mount the GoPro DIY egg timer to a tripod. These can be purchased at Home Depot or any hardware store.)
- First take your timer and stick adhesive mount on the top.
- On the bottom of the Walmart version there is a hole already in it. This is what gets tapped or threaded with the 1/4″-20 tap (you do not need to drill it out.)
- Take the tap and tap the hole allowing attachment to any 1/4″-20 style tripod mount.
- Go capture some time lapses.
