Dark Side of the Camera
My Monitor is a Sony DVD player and I was looking for a way to attach it to the camera in a useful way.
Usually DVD players don't come with threaded holes and I didn't want to drill and tap into the plastic.
I saw this Set of screwdrivers for 10 bucks that comes in a little flight case and my DIY brain begun to spin.
The plexiglass insert would be nice for protection but was glossy like a mirror.
So this is the first thing that went out.
Next one was that cheesy chrome handle that corrupted my professional monitor Feng Shui.
A bit of tweaking and drilling holes, a bit of flat black spray paint - et voila.
It is a pretty tight fit, so there is no further fixing of the player inside the box necessary.
For more professional look I added a BNC cable and plugs instead if the Mickey Mouse RCA stuff.
The whole shebang lives on a Manfrotto Arm that is attached with a Superclamp to the base plate.
It looks way to heavy for the arm, but the box weights next to nothing.
I fact, everything is rock solid.
