Ever think about turning a discarded chair into a low‑cost, battery‑powered camera rig for covert observation?

Legs swapped is fine, but the seat‑mount will shift under weight, the battery pack is a fire hazard if not sealed, and the tripod head will tilt the camera out of line. Use a short‑arm bracket, weld the mount, and fit a quick‑release plate so you can swap the lens or disconnect power without untangling. Also, test the balance with a dummy load before you think it’s stealthy.
