    8x10 18x24 Sinar Norma Overhead Shooting Table 165 Norma SA by Nokton48, on Flickr

    The idea is to leave this set up on a semi-permanent basis. Good for any kind of shooting from basically directly above, but oblique is possible too. Plenty to experiment with at this point

    The neoprene version appears to be a good simple & serviceable option. I"m tempted to make one up to use when the days are windy with my Deardorff.
    Must take a special sewing machine to stitch neoprene?

    Here is one I made from wet suit neoprene. I first made one for my 8X10 Deardorff held on by Velcro and then for my Toyo 810M, glued to a plywood frame that attaches like a Toyo accessory.

    No stitching, if you bond the seams with wet suit cement, they are very strong... If you apply a thin layer to both surfaces to be bonded, wait a minute or two, then press them together, they are as strong as the material itself...

    Get it at a dive or surf shop...

    What I am getting is that the inverted/reversed GG image is the issue:

    My experience is that after a while the brain adapts and this is no longer a distraction or a problem.

    An out of the box and off the wall idea now: Perhaps there is a DIY work around that can be done with a smart phone to re-invert the GG image to "right-side-up' when previewing the composition.

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
