No but I'll take a look...? it looks like a nice project to do just for fun but from watch a few it seems it takes quite a while... assuming you have all the tools necessary! You did a great job and looks quite pro, but I just came across this video of a product that does the same for $45... not sure if its as good since I havn't seen the product shots but seems like a bargain. /watch?v=DVVx7WHtWU4

It might be...would like to take this one and the Ray Flash and compare side-by-side shots and start there, then compare other things such as size/weight/functionality/etc. I'm you seen my flickr set with shots taken with this??

For all the time and? effort, time spent learning, reading the tutorials, going to buy all the materials, time spent must've taken at least 6 hours I'm guessing? Wouldn't it be worth just getting a Ray Flash for $200?

This is a great video thanks for posting, I have all the? tools already so this is perfect for me. You did a great job explaining in detail and your finished product looks very clean and compact. I will have to add a few extra bends because of my camera body but the general design is fantastic, thanks again.
