I just picked up a Canon 400mm f5.6L. So I figured to make a gun stock support. Yeah, old school for sure, but it does help to steady me. Can't wait to pan with those Blue Heron tomorrow.
Lucky for me, I was able to cannibalize a pellet gun for this quick project.
So anyone else, into making their own gear?
Lets see those brilliant ideas, I could use a few more!

You might want to reconsider making that part of your carry-on when traveling. |

That reminds me of the Zenith Sniper SLR from the '70s! What you need to do now, is rig the cable release to the trigger!

| I've also made diffusers out of waxed paper, floating floor stuff and Chapman's ice cream containers...and made reflectors from chunks of cardboard with that super-reflective heat-tape stuff on them. And many a backdrop, plain white or coloured, has cost me all of $1 CDN from the loonie store! |
