Someone is selling a homemade on ebay...for $1,500!

Not only that, the guy has the audacity to market his product as a "mini35 kit".

I laugh. Very, very hard. And then I pity the person who buys a camera on an L-shaped wooden plank for $1,500.

Doesn't the guy know you could buy a full micro35 kit plus all the adapters you'd ever need for that kind of money?

Pathetic.

No what would be pathetic is if anyone actually bought that...

Looks like the first stateside Marla35/DV35M clone.

The really sad part is, they didn't even trim the excess part off the wooden plank.

That is really pathetic - you can easily get a mini35 from redrock micro for that price.

They spec out several camcorders that you could use with it - maybe they'll trim the plank to the shape of your camcorder

Hah!

Worse still is that this adapter is such a poor design, even the Marla people wrote that they had to spend hours and hours removing grain frame-by-frame in order to get an acceptable image from their setup. And I can't even imagine what it must be like, lugging that huge plank around with two cameras attached...
