Facial camera stabilizer

Go here to read the back round for this - http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-236741-1.html

This forehead/facial stabilizer mounts in the accessory/flash shoe of the camera and stabilizes hand holding as well as using with any type of support ( ie bodypod, monopod). It helps to keep your face off the back of the camera and sweat/oils from getting into the control wheels/buttons on the back of the camera. I recommend using it with an extended eyepiece - tho not necessary.

The downside is it occupies the flash shoe and may look a little strange for the fashionistas.

If you have a fixed LCD on your camera back you can also use a stabilizer on the bottom tripod socket which butts up against your chin - this is a little trickier tho as you need your tripod socket for other functions as well. Most Articulating LCD's present a physical interference for the chin stabilizer.

I have some of these made up for friends and thought I would make some available to UHHers. I have these on all my cameras and would not be without them !

$25 for the forehead version only for DSLR's only - shipped to lower 48 states US, PayPal preferred.

I would like to get your information as well and wonder if you would take a personal check.

I have not made any of these in a couple years now. I have them on all my cameras except the new Sony RX10 IV I just got - so I will be making one for the Sony soon. I do have some parts to make some - but not many. I am semi retired - BUT - I have been working every day here lately. In the course of 4 or 5 years now, I may have sold a dozen or so - so it is not something I get excited about - over the years I have lost a lot of interest - I thought it would be a big seller - Today, I would not be without one on any of my cameras.

So, I guess when I make one for myself I will make a few to sell and make a post on UHH that I have some again....It is hard for people to grasp the value of it unless you experience it for awhile !....

THAT WAS A QUOTE FROM THE OP !!!!!
WHAT THE HAY !!!

So....did you really mean to offer these ????
C'mon....
