Photography Lighting Mirror Holder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDIQUrOpSDQ Inspired by the above video and the awesome lighting tricks that can be done using a light and mirror, I designed this small mirror holder as a budget alternative to the baby pin plates he uses to hold his mirrors. The design is comprised of a body (built for mirrors that are 200mm x 200mm x 3mm) that the mirror slides into, a threaded rod with a threaded slot for a standard 1/4th inch screw thread (used with most photography equipment) for mounting, and a hinged lid to secure the mirror inside the holder. There is enough space for mirrors with tape (as in one of the example photos) to be used as well to create that awesome fake window look! This is a super great trick to create amazing lighting effects without spending a bunch of money. :)
