I don't mean to be skeptical (there's a better word for it I'm sure) but why would you want to put all that money on a homemade rig? I wouldn't.

Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here. Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid!

I am expecting delivery of my bracket from B&H tomorrow. I don't want to see no stinking way to save myself all that money now..... :lol:

Actually I've looked at the possibility of making a bracket. I decided that I didn't know enough about metals to be sure it would hold up properly with some expensive equipment hooked to it.

OK, I"m not real up on this, but won't companies ship to you? Or is it cost prohibitive?

I am a competent metalworker, and decided to buy one.

Shipping from B&H to Australia wasn't bad, so i can't imagine the Phillipines would be any worse...

I made one out of Aluminium. Works great and didn't cost much. To connect it to my camera I use a Cullmann quick release that I already had. I can't photograph it on the camera unless I use a mirror as I only have 1 camera. When I get around to it I will post a thread here.
