Is this a quiz?

An over designed GPS bracket?

An under designed tow hook?

A uniquely designed fitting to cart your mother in law to 10 000ft and have it fail - oops?

Haha I knew the phone was going to attract some attention :D

This was a compression gland used on pipes under pressure, with the gland part machine bored to 31.75mm and a bobbin of vesconite lathed into a replica of what my cam tripod business part looks like.

The rest is clear :wink: Works like a charm!

lol wish i could,but the camera I love to use,belongs to my dad,and I dont believe he will be smiling when I pop the idea,or pop the camera too lol
But I made a video clip with my phone,N73,the video clip is 18mins in length,and if you guys want to,I can post a link here on where to download it,its 45Mb,but edited a bit,added some music and added a couple of Radio transmissions as well,and the quality of the video was okay.The original one on my pc,which is a bit better then the one on the site,the original is 146Mb...
I mounted my phone on an aluminum stand which I constructed for my phone,to keep it upright,and preview,which was mounted on the instrument panel,looking over the nose.

Kind regards

Mark
