04Oct DIY – 550D Extreme Sports Handle

Fortytwobmx_Sporthandle_01

Mike over at http://FortyTwobmx.blogspot.com wasn’t looking to pay the high prices for a handle mount rig for the Canon 550D to shoot BMX and Skate films, so he whipped up his own DIY called the ‘550D Extreme Sports Handle’. With some extra square tubing, old BMX handlebar, a couple of Grips, old bar ends, and a quick release adapter from a cheap tripod here’s the end result. Another goal was to make the handle rig as small as possible. Some future upgrades will be a start / stop record button on the top handle, small monitor, and possible LED lighting. You can find more about his project over at his blog here.
