Tripod beer photography

Now here's the right way to take pix in the heat...
For sale at Yodobashi"The world's first bottle cap tripod .... magically turns a bottle into a tripod, ideal for night shot and self protrait. [sic] The bottle cap tripod fits bottles with 28.5 to 30.5mm diameter."

That's really cool - and useful!

Anybody know what the measurements on the standard can/bottle hybrids are? If this puppy will fit on my Twist Pepsi, I'll take one. :D

Next stop for you is Yodobashi Camera: Pepsi is ok
The tripod fits " 28.5 to 30.5mm diameter."
Pepsi has 28-mm screw-cap closures with breakaway tamper evident bands ...28 mm, for 1/2 and 1 liter PET Bottles

However, my picture is obviously PhotoShopped and the Kirin beer bottle has a wide-mouth, 38mm White Metal Screw Caps which won't work with the tripod.

Inspired by yesterday's link to a commercially available bottlecap tripod, Adam has put together instructions for a $1.50 DIY version.
