Yeah, agreed. Does it fold down at all? Portabilitly is a big part of the design, I think. THere are some on ebay like this. Cool.
 
No thats its falldown... it doesnt collapse at all. However it is very light and I have a place for it boxed in my equipement case. The upside is it cost me around $10 USD to make it. Plus I have lots of leftover material ... I will make another as I have since found ways to improve on this design.

Looks a lot like mine. (Sheets of heavy plastic, glued together and press-fitted to the Panny sunscreen.

I've been thinking about ordering some "spare" sunscreens and making a more easily detached version by gluing instead of press-fitting.

Maybe even cut a slot for filters. Hmmm...

Any chance of releasing those designs or selling me one?

Not really worth selling you one sorry mate... the time it takes to make it etc. I mean its great to DYI for myself because I can count the time in value I get out of it. But to make it for someone else ... Not so sure Plus if I sell one and something happens to it then I need to take responsibility for it.. just dont have the time or care for it atm. Even the design is completely in my head and would take some effort to put on some form of schematic to follow, of course I have the measurements down. I will try to give you some measurements and a basic idea how I did it when I get a chance.. you need to find the same material I used...pretty easy I think.

Next one I make will include the ability to use a filter. I really need a polariser for the ana lense.

That guy selling the MB on ebay is Australian. I did ask someone else about it on this forum and based on how its made I decided to make my own.
