It looks great Terry! The cutaway hinge you sent for my CCM is still working well too. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sky490 0 #5 June 30, 2009 The case in the photo is made from a solid block of acrylic. Machined out then polished. It looks nice but acrylic is week. I will be producing this case made from solid Black ABS. Its hard to see in the photos I used but the neet part on this case is the hood for the Century Optics .3. There is no way to bolt on this hood so this is what I came up with. The hole in the camera case is 1.700 in dia and .125 wall thickness. The hood has a modifed "O" ring groove that fits the 1.700 case hole. The ID of the hood is 1.575 which matches the 1.575 on any 30mm to 37mm step ring. the parting line of the case is on centerline with the lens. Put the step ring on the camera, place the hood over the step ring, screw on the baby death, no need to remove the rubber schroud or bolt the camera in. My dimensions are so close that there is no rattle. close the lid over the groove in the hood then the case is held closed with a stock 1" altimeter wrist strap. The case also fits the Century Optics .55. My lens hood also fits the Cookie Composites CX-100 box and You can use the extended battery.
