WrongWay 0 #1 December 3, 2004 Does anyone know of any company/individual who makes custom camera boxes? What I'm really looking for is a sidemount box similar to RAWA's double holed box so I can fly my camera straight up or upside down without changing a bunch of crap around. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoPush 0 #2 December 3, 2004 Get a good book on fiberglass that has a section on making enclosures. An experience jumper at our DZ wrapped his camera with cellophane and used it as a template to form a box. The process I guess is time consuming, but the results were awesome. Good luck.......post your results! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ269J 0 #3 December 3, 2004 An experience jumper at our DZ wrapped his camera with cellophane and used it as a template to form a box. The process I guess is time consuming, but the results were awesome. That's what I did. It came out pretty good, considering its the first one I've made. It really is not that hard. All you need is some sandpaper, fiberglass and resin, and a dremel tool is invaluable. Wrap the camera in plastic wrap or wax paper or something similiar, and start wrapping it with fiberglass soaked in resin. Take you time and it will come out pretty good. Thought I had a pic saved on my computer of mine. I'll post one when I find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having worked in composite manufacturing, for a long time, let's say that you should definately add a mask w/ HEPA filter to this list. 13$ at a auto supply store, and worth it's weight in gold. Also, I'd recommend long sleeves. Cloth composites are excellent building materials, but, even with very short-term exposure they can still bite you in the ass. .jim"Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrongWay 0 #5 December 4, 2004 Hmmm.....I could try that. Only problem is....I'm not the most "handy" of "handymen". I'll figure somethin out. Thanks!!!! Really though, I'm quite surprised that nobody besides RAWA makes a box like that. I wonder why.... Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.
