If I wanted to mount a disposable camera on a tripod, how could I do that?

It's my new setup. I'm kinda scared the duct tape won't look professional though.

I'm in between Grits and Lovesong's setup. I really appreciate the feedback guys. I'm thinking of purchasing a new camera and wanted to look really good. I'm even going to splurge for the nice-looking disposable wedding cameras with the fayncee decorations on the front (white with silver leafing...I'm sure you guys have seen them at CVS). If I go the duct tape route, do you think the silver duct tape would look best? I think it would coordinate better and not stick out like a sore thumb since there will already be silver decorations on my camera.

Maybe you could glue a nut with the thread size you need for the tripod/qr plate. Instant tripod socket.

I second the above. With this much leadtime, and especially if the camera doesn't HAVE to work I'd have someone slightly mechanically inclined drill a hole in the camera large enough for a 1/4 20 nut to fit in... epoxy that in and instant tripod socket that looks "pro" of course you will have compromised the light seal but I'm assuming this is really a prank and no actual photos will need to be taken with the camera.

this sounds like the best looking solution but if you want tacky, go with duct tape

But just remember: Nothing screams "unprofessional" as much as wrinkles in duct tape.

if you have extra lightstand parts around, you can grab some parts from the top of one of them and epoxy it to the bottom of the cam
