My Flash Mount had ruber on one of its sides and i wanted to use that ruber as pading for my camera so i had to flip my handle on the other side. If you do not have this problem than move on.


I Also replaced that big thumb screm for a regular screw so it doesn't get in the way

Bend the bar so it fit your shoulder like a glove on to a hand


make sure yo leave some excess aluminum at the end so you will have some room to drill the holes

Drill Three or more holes in the aluminum about an inch apart just like these.

Also drill holes in the Flash mount if needed.

Now Screw the mount and the aluminum pices together like this or how ever it fits your shoulder mount.

Atach your foam or padding. I used regular packing foam and double stick tape.

Slip on your foam tube
