Sigma EM-140 ring flash holder

A common regret when photograph work with a macro ring flash is that the image seem flat. This is due to the lack of shadow caused by the fact that the light come from the point of view: the same effect appear you use a headlamp by night. This tool permit to hold the flash in a better position. It have 3 easy freedom degrees : * the angle of the camera fixation, * the angle between the two threaded rod and * the angle of fixation of the flash. Note that I add 2 grips from MaxGlide (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:84142). There is many way to mount it, you can remove the photo screw for tripod holding (I add this to take a picture for Thingiverse) or add an over handle. Its parenthood with TV support for camcorder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1096886) give you even more possibility. Need part (see picture): * Threaded rod M8: 2 (here 350mm and 470mm long) * Nut M8: 15-20 * Big washer M8: 8-10 * Screw "photo format" (1/4 inch large × 1/2 inch length): 1 * Nut "photo format" (1/4 inch large): 1 * Screw M3 cylindrical head 25mm: 4 * Nut M3: 4 * Rubber washer seal 15-21 : 1 Update on 10th March 2016: An bigger camera support is added that permit a better fixation of the camera. It's inspired by my Quick release camera mounting plate (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1253600). It require smaller M3 screws (12 or 16 mm long).
