Hi All,
Just saw an interesting device whilst surfing the 'bay. Recently there has been a surge in off the shelf parts for the diyer to tinker with, from the screen holders to the macro tubes and screen choices etc. However, rods , which are generally regarded a necessity, are a bit too cumbersome for many and a bit pricy for most.
For a small cam, I reckon a variation on the theme of the following

might fit the bill. If the thread size was say 52mm and the travel on the camera mount was longer, then it might provide suitable support for the plethora of compact adapters which are taking shape out there.
So, does anyone know of any variations more suited to our purposes in production?
cheers
Dave
