Here is the final version (for now) of my Norma Sinar Handy! Underneath the silver clips on the right and left sides of the Norma frame, there is not any material to screw into. So I will not be able to do a side grip. But what I have now, is an authentic-looking Handy, made with Norma parts. I really like how it handles with the grip underneath, so I will have to go with that.
A $12 quick release from China, and $1.12 in machine bolts and nuts from Lowes, and ten minutes with my mini-drill press, was all that was required. This is an extremely well balanced, extremely solid rig. Now I will start to look for opportunities to test it, after New Years.
The cable release is -just- long enough to screw into the shutter, but not -too- tight. No wiggle room.
