Yes sir you are quite correct, I would like to see the cost of
the first two. I am by no means trying to stir you away from
other products. I know mine works and will be affordable to all.
Thanks for your input. mdh

Just like I suggested.
Ambidextrous and a shutter release on the pistol grip.

Thanks for the interest, I wasn't trying to sell you one and if
you have the sharpshooter then you wouldn't need mine. I
also have a left handed version. mdh

It seems to me you are just adding more weight to an already heavy setup, I personally doubt you add that much stability when you have your outer arm set so very far away from your body.

Another use could be the possibility of using non IS or VR lenses and still have sharp photos. This could have signifigant price advantages, and more than overcome the cost of the device.

I was waiting on you, I so wanted your input. The length is ajustable and it is quite balanced. I use it like shooting a gun and
have been using different proto types for a year now. I get a lot
of shots that I cannot pan with a tripod. I go after the shots that have movement, if I want a shot on a limb or on the ground that I don't want to hold that long I just add my Monopod to the end.
I respect your professionalism and know you test products for
big folks. I am not trying to push anything off on any one, I am
looking for input to see if I want to go forward.
I wanted to PM you and see if you would look at a free one and
give me your opion after using it but I see you have your mind
made up already but thanks for your input. mdh

You are quite correct and I have made it so the camera will mount
without having to use a lens without a support ring. I used a
Canon T3i with the kit 70-300. Thanks for looking. mdh

Looks very good indeed. Will be very interested in acquiring one if it goes into production.

Yes, I have tried to and am still in the process. The post may
be a bit early but I wanted to get some forum feedback to go
with my field testers. Thanks for looking. mdh

Thank you and when I start production I will repost. I am looking
for people that want something they can afford and not be
ashamed to be seen with it and most of all will do the job. mdh

That looks great. I like the all metal and 2 screws to clamp the extension tube. Someone suggested extending the shoulder rest so it would rest on the shoulder which could be a help in supporting the weight. I would offer another thought, consider moving the outer grip in so the arm could be tucked in rather than extended so the arm could rest against the body and changing the grip from a pistol grip to the knob grip found in some competition target rifles. Make it in aluminum and have them made with some good quality MIG welding and I think you have a natural, and it would be a Made in America all metal. Best of luck. and do protect your design.
