DIY (sort of) Sandbags for Counterweight
Buying sandbags is probably the most boring thing next to manuals and paperclips. The worst part is buying online and paying for shipping, so I decided to buy them empty but realized that a heavy-duty sewing machine costs somewhere $200. And by heavy-duty materials I mean leather, denim, and of course cordura (what these sandbags are made from).
Here's my solution: Gorilla Glue ($8) and sand ($3) at Home Depot.

DIY Manfrotto Carrying Strap for $3
I was trying to figure out a way to attach my 055XB Manfrotto tripod to my backpack when I decided the best way to go about it is just carry it separately using a strap without costing an arm and a leg. Just as a warning, I make no warranties or responsibility if your DIY stuff breaks or destroy things.
