Hi everyone,
Here is a great way to create a simple tripod and housing for your new raspberry pi and camera.
http://www.rpie.co.uk/2013/06/23/the-2-raspberry-pi-tripod/
The site also has many great tutorials on how to create time lapse videos and convert single frames into 25 fps video.
Hope it helps!

Very nice :-) I'm off to my nearest bargain stores to see if I can source similar components !
The poundland link seems to be dead now, but if you can't find a similar tripod, these have been working well for me:

rpi camera boards are back in stock at uk.farnell.com this morning too 
talking about the Pi Cam, the guide on the E14 website is incorrect.

Shouldn't it be updated so that the commands are as follows:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ /opt/vc/bin/raspicam –ifx negative –o negative_image.jpg
*raspicam does not work anymore (I know because I keep typing it 
)
to:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ raspistill –ifx negative –o negative_image.jpg
... and all the same for other little errors like that.

maybe ln -sf /opt/vc/bin/raspistill /opt/vc/bin/raspicam would offer some short term frustration relief

or just remember that one mode is for taking "stills" and the other for taking "vids"
