DIY Rail & 35mm Vibrating Adapter

[Luis_]

Hello all,

Excuse the electrical tape. I'm working on a modification for that.

So I went to HD and bought a square aluminum tube and made this thing I like to call my support system. And I also just made a vibrating adapter to go with it. (Special thanks to Daniel from JetSetModels.info)

Let me know what you think?

I shot some footage and will try to upload it tomorrow.

82-72 ring was like $5
72mm Achromat was like $130
72-55 was $10
55mm CPL was like $4
55-57 special ring was around $30
Nikon tubes were $9.98 (x2)
GG Holder, switch, and regulator around $150
Ground Glass $35
Nikon 50mm lens $285
Wire free, from an old car cell phone charger
Glue gun & glue sticks $15

Rounded off like $400 USD

With the lens total about $685

Wow, I didn't even think I spent that much because I was bying part by part a little bit at a time until I had them all and then made the adapter.

After I finish a commercial I'm doing and a music video that I'm shooting this saturday, I'll see if I find some time next week to upload some footage. I'm just swamped.:zombie_smiley:

Yup, that'll happen...

Test footage looks great. I'm glad you were able to get it to the point you could use it on a commercial production. I bet you are too.
