DIY: Camera quick release $1

I've been spending a lot of time on the NSOP forums (New School of Photography for those who aren't aware.). And one of my favorite sections or sub-forums on there is the DIY. There is one thing that most people who like photography know, and that is that it takes years to break through, and often a lot of money in equipment to do so. That of course isn't always the case but a good percentage of it. So finding ways to save cash along the way is fantastic.

One of the things that has been discussed recently is the quick release camera clip. Something that attaches to your belt buckle so your secondary camera is always right beside you, without getting those messy camera straps in the way. And I whole heartedly agree. So while at the dollar tree the other day I stumbled upon a cell phone clip (remember the days of those? Think back to your old Nokia). $1 later, it was on my Holga. A camera that I never liked the strap as it was too skinny. And I am nowhere near pretentious enough to carry around a Holga on its own. It is perfect for the Holga's lightweight construction, and very easy to access. Check it out!
