   Whats the point of cannibalizing an expensive chair when you can get a dedicated shoulder support that will do the job for about half the price?

   Not sure if it’s ok to post links here but I recently bought a “CowboyStudio Shoulder Support Pad” (just google it) from amazon for approx $50aud delivered to Syd & it is pretty great for the price. It’s cheaper and you dont have to assemble it. Plus is has a strap and all the necessary fixtures to hold your camera etc.

   Kinda pointless hacking imho 😉

      Bah you miss the point of DIY, the aim is to make the best most custom thing ever but the reality we all accept in our hearts is that its going to be more expensive, not as good and a bit wobbly but at the end of the day its uniquely yours!

         Really? I do loads of DIY and I only ever do it if it’s going to be cheaper and/or better than if I could have bought an equivalent. If it’s more expensive and worse then you’re deluding yourself.

   $5000 camera and hes using a crappy $80 support that will damage the focus or zoom ring because the wire is pulling at an angle? too much money and time on his hands.plus it can only pull in one direction, once. A criteria for a successful hack is that it actually has to work and it shouldnt damage things around it, sorry but this is just crap and will be in the bin in a few days time, just one look and you can tell it wasnt thought through at all. reminds me of when we used to built billy carts as a kid, thing is we had age and a lack of income as an excuse for our crappy builds, this shows a lack of brains and forsight. could have been good if he took another week and put more planning and effort, could have really worked.
