Simple and elegant: Nice!

Can the "front" leg be opened horizontal for a pull handle? How do you transport the rest of your gear?

this could be a patentable commercial product'

Looking and thinking:

What about using sopked pneumatic wheels from a jogging stroller?

I could have..these just happened to be at Orchard Hardware and fit the axle part there too..

I'm just going to be on pavement..no offroading for me


I think my one mistake is too much of a spread on the rear legs.. it might get ugly trying to run around in crowded areas

eventually I think I'll have the welder guy cut a chunk out of the bottom bar and weld it together to make it more crowd and doorway friendly

I just wasn't thinking at the welders

DrTang:

How do you handle everything else . . .all the other gear?

[EdSawyer]

Good call with the self-cocking shutter. The only downside to those is limited top speed but if you are using flash for most of the light it should be a non-issue probably.

[DrTang]

camera bag on the back end will have the grafmatics and flash meter... I'll hang the battery for the Q-flash on it somewhere

and I'm considering bolting a bike water bottle cage or two on the legs for instant access to refreshment

no darkcloth needed

I might end up rating the Tmax 100 at 50 so I can shoot wider..or ND filters.. but then I'll need to pump up the juice on the flash

the parade is always a pain because of the sun.. every year I pray for overcast.. and most years it's blazing sun

I am working on building a pair of lensboards for mine (TWR) to fit xenotar 150s.

And get a parrot for your shoulder... Maybe some people will think you are just a normal kook with that rig in public, they will be attracted to "Polly", and you can say "Watch the birdy"... ;-)
