Imagemeister, I'm more interested in the visor you have fashioned over the viewfinder. Can you point me to a post on it or tell me more? ;)

Thanks Db7423.

I like it!
I need something to carry lights stands and occasionally a tripod.
I have a light stand bag with a shoulder strap, but have only two shoulders.
The oxygen cart (or golf cart) would be just the ticket.
I'm thinking several pvc pipes might look like a mortar launcher, but if I don't use camo paint, I think I will be ok.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks Goofy ! Yes, as I mentioned back in the film days( '77-'85) I was using the converted golf cart for the same reasons as you mention - light stands and tripods.

The biggest reason I like a camera with an eyepiece is stabilization.
This takes it a step or more further.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out what it was. Very clever and I bet it works well. May tinker a little myself. ;)

Well, I checked on Amazon and apparently you have not begun to offer this product there. At present my longest lens is the 55-300mm Nikor so I was wondering if you make a smaller version. Love your Yankee ingenuity. Best, nervous2

Whoops! Sorry about reference to "Yankee Ingenuity" in last post before noticing that you are from Florida. Hopefully I did not offend too much. Again, best, nervous2

Not to horn in but for what's worth, heres my DYI tripod caddy using an oxy cart :) (Really comes in handy sometimes.)
