DIY macro set up on tripod . the original clamp is not so expensive , but its a single clamp ... i decided to work out a dual clamps , so i can create background bokeh ... :lol: ![]() almost the same as the original one , clamp here clamp there ... ![]() have the shuttle release attached onto the tripod also . using velcro , easy to take out onto the hand for more control . ![]() overall , it looks like the alien from world of the worlds ! ![]() last photo taken by LX2 . |

Haha Great DIY job!! Ming I had bought similar clamp, but with rounded claw. Where got the bendable arm from? I want those too! And how much it cost? |

I like the idea! I have a simple mini studio for small objects set up at home... but looking for ways to prop up the very small items... your mini clips and flexi arms are great... Where you get both? |

BTW... do you bring the setup out for macro shoots? seems a good way to minimise the effect of wind... |
