An untitled Gizmo.

[Joe F.N.]

Bobby asked if I would post a device that I created to help us in shooting BIFs. All members of the local chapter of L.A.P.P. have one. Two have tried it and the other two will soon. When I saw the Bush Hawk I saw two areas of concern: 1 the shutter release cable getting hung up in brush and 2 the cost.
All it has to do is steady the camera and allow the camera to smoothly follow through on a moving target. I believe this device serves that purpose. NO I am not in the business of marketing these. This is as simple as it gets folks.
Any questions? More than happy to answer.

Interesting device, Joe. I've been trying out my Bushhawk and on the 2nd day the remote trigger device stopped working. So, in order to use the thing, I've had to improvise and use my right hand as I would if I were normally shooting. It got me to thinking about how I thought I would much prefer having a secondary "handle" for my left hand to hold just for addt'l support.

Now if I had wood working tools here I know I'd be a busy guy for a while. :)

Thanks for posting the photos and info Joe. It looks like it should work as well as anything on the market. Good job! BTW, I'd call it the Gizmojoe!!:biglaugh:
