I built this a few years ago and I have done some refinements, requires a heavy duty tripod.

It seems to work, and that is what counts. Good job.

Oh, how does that camo work on that pier, barge or what ever it is?:lol:

Yes, I do realize it is a weather proof hunter's outfit and under the circumstances the camo pattern doesn't really matter.

It is warm, there is a cold breeze coming off the bay , and it is what I bought a reversible winter outfit white or brown

You gotta love something that's hand-made and works as intended. Very nice job.

Wonderful invention. Is this available for sale? If so, how much?

Cool, I like it. I'm having trouble hand holding my big lens.

I only built one and did buy material for another one. The main thing I have to get working on is the tripod and camera mountings

But I can send a photo of what I have built so far

That looks really interesting. Maybe you should take out a patent on it.
