Any recommendation for a matte box / rod system for HPX500

Darrin: Good, now run, don't walk, to the nearest hardware store and buy four longer stainless steel M3 screws and set them with Locktight... As I've mentioned previously, one has the tendency to slam the camera onto the tripod plate, and those screws, which take the strain, will loosen with repeated abuse...

I wish there was a way to drill and tap the bottom of the camera in order to use the larger screw holes in the V portion of the Chrosziel plate, but that would be impractical...
