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

Flight and Wildlife in general. Being old and having a bad
shoulder I had to have some help holding my Canon 7D,
with dual battery pack and my 100-400L series Lens.
Last year I started working on a support and now have it
completed and tested. It is simple and strong and works
like a charm. I keep it in the truck mounted and ready for
out the window shots at all times. It is set up for universal use with 300mm 400mm 500mm lens.

I am working on the Legal stuff and setting up a Website and new Email. IF I can get enough interest I will try to
put some in production this spring to share with all my
friends here.

If you do sports, motocross or car racing birds in flight
you will find this support great for panning. It also has
a hole under the front end for a Mono-Pod.

If you have an interest please PM me. mdh

Looks good! I hope you've taken steps to protect your idea.

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

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.
