thanks man

haha but last night i did the most ghetto worst thing ever hahaha

took like a bit of steel rod that i had left from my reinforcements and i put that on the bottom of my camera, then duct taped that on so it would be on and not fall off.

then i put a foam grip on the rest of it which fit perfectly

lmao

Yeah its simply as hell. Just get a piece of aluminum, bend it, drill a hole, get a bolt and your set. Bolts with the wings on the end are good because you can take the handle off simply with your fingers. Also bend it so your hand isn't too far from the top of the camera, there should only be like a an inch between your fingers and the top of the camera. Its more steady that way.

and to bend it you just use your hands or something right

haha

im pretty sure this is what's going on.

we have to get an aluminum rod, bend it so it's like a c.

then take a bolt, and drill through the aluminum, then put the bolt in where you drilled through it on the bottom.

then you have a handle? i think?

No you drill a hole in the handle. Your camera has a tripod screw hole in the bottom of it already.

Its mainly for fisheye runs and really low fisheye shots.
Yeah I know, but I'm better at just holding the camera with my hand in the little strap dealy when doing that. I guess it would be better because you could do it left handed more easily.
