This might interest some new shooters in this thread. Its a plywood version of the skater mini that I made in the DIY section. Used to hold heavy shoulder mounted cameras including the red one.

Awesome work dude!

Honestly your ingenuity is kinda scary, I'm on whatever side you're on when the apocalypse comes...
 
Thanks JC.
Just trying to save some money, cuz not only do some tiny stuff cost so much, I also can't find em on the corner store where I live.

But seriously, I cant just buy something expensive when I know I can use my hands to make something usable.

I believe reputation built on ones work is not dependent on the brand of his gear. :-)

That's a terrific sentiment. I figure there are some things most of us couldn't make - viz. the camera, lenses, a fluid head, a sound recording device - but once you have those things and if you're constructively inclined it becomes about odds and ends you have or find and what you can see in the local hardware store, and suddenly the horizon opens and you're in control again.
