Ok well I decided to start selling camera handles (thanks to the skiers in white face) and I will be selling them for 35$ each (Canadian), in the one I have been using it put tape in the back to stop it from bouncing around, and I will do that for all of them, I will try to post a pic of one with tape on it.

Home made handel

So if you want to buy one just pm me your; camera length (from lens for end of the view finder or battery) and the length from the place where you screw in the tripod to the end of the battery or viewfinder, and the height of your camera.

I got a great idea... make a product that works before trying to sell it, and don't rip people off.

I built it using 1/4" aluminum bent with my braun and a vise, a thumb screw with the right thread for the cam, and an old biking handle and it NEVER vibrated.  Cost around $15 too.  So go make one yourself.

Sorry, didn't see you'd already reduced the price to a more reasonable one, but I still say make it with better metal so you don't ahve to throw tape all over it.

Nope.  The bolt was just short enough to not hit the top of the bolt hole in the cam, so when it was fully tightened it was real solid.
