Laser AF Assist How-To
Aug 6th
Following on from yesterdays post, and the load of comments asking for a how to, here it is. Unfortunately I wasn’t thinking of making a how to at the time while I was making the mount, so I don’t have photographs of the various stages, so instead I’ve rendered it in a 3D app.
Needed items:
- Laser Pointer from here
- Dremel rotary tool (Cutting discs, griding stone, sanding)
- Nail varnish or model paint
- Pliers
- Ruler
- Pencil
If you order the laser pointer from the link in the required items list, it comes with a barrel mount already provided, this is what you are going to modify down to fit to the camera. Ok, on with the guide;
Home Made Laser DSLR AF Assist
Aug 5th
I just finished making a laser sight for AF Assist for my Canon 400D that mounts on the flash mount on the top of DSLRs, using a £5.70 little laser pointer. Should make focusing in dark urbex situations much simpler.
If anyone is interested in making one of these themselves then leave a comment saying so, if there is enough interest ill make a little how to on making your own one of these.
