Tripod Handle
Bought a DLSR form iwrock. So for the last month i've been trying to piece together some camera gear. picked up a tripod used on ebay. Its a nice tripod for $20 shipped... but it was missing the pan/tilt handle. So today I made one. I made it out of a lower injector body left over from rebuilding the SD's injectors years back, and a shifter knob for a Honda Civic. Thought y'all would get a laugh out of it. Actully, it works very well.

First DSLR? I have had a few, including a Sony or two. The Sonys are long gone, moved into Nikon now. They are all great cameras though.
Wait til you start buying up lenses!

Rotate?
I'd have to rotate the handle 90 degrees ----- it's difficult to shift gears while driving on my head.

This may be good enough for, well, some people, but I could never do this unless I could use a walnut shifter from a Mercedes.
Hummm.... After looking at it one would need a shift handle that was not curved as many Mercedes shift handles are. Perhaps I can figure out a way to just mount the knob. I think you might have just started a trend...... |

Shifter for the SD is a pistol grip for a Mauser broom handle.
Shifter for my Toyota is a 1911 grip. I think I have a nack for miss using grips.

Nice fix on the tripod.
What gear do you shoot the camera with?
