Remember the issue I was having with my Sony HDMI port? The connection on the camera was getting loose from years of use and in order to save some money (and time) to repair the port – I 3D printed a clamp. But I did notice that in day […]
Worked on another “Practical 3D” build. My current camera does not allow for the back screen to flip up and over for me to properly frame myself when filming myself. Thinking of a periscope – I found these objects online and viola. I could buy one of these online (approx […]
Busted out my camera gear to do some photography but in a different manner. I had experimented with Macro photography before but not like this. I had some mini figures (not very good) but being inspired by some other photographers on the web, I thought I’d try my hand […]
So my Brother in law has a project for our next Oct 2019 studio shoot that will require some of his talent to sing and present long, long lines of dialog. He thought of using a teleprompter and I told him I had built one (see link here) but it’s […]

Well technically I didn’t “DIY” this but I did have the idea. 😉 I shoot lots of video with my Sony A6500 and I have a cage for it that allows me to add numerous items to help me get better audio, stabilize my shot and compose my image using […]
