My Tutorial on DIY Photography
I've also been a fan of making things myself rather than paying for the retail version. Very much a do-it-yourself'er. This doesn't change in my photography and as I venture into video it plays a large part. As I keep adding equipment to my arsenal, my original case became too small and the hunt for a large case began.
I checked the usual stores, checked some online stores, did my research and decided to just make my own. When I played Paintball as a kid I had this hard metal case that came perforated foam inserts that you could remove and shape into different compartments. The idea worked great and always protected my gun so I knew instantly it had to work for my gear too. This time for the metal case I use a carry-on suitcase made of hard plastic and just happen to stand on 4 swivel wheels to top it off! Check out the rest of the tutorial and you'll see what came about!
