You ever wonder how those professional photographers take close-up photos of tigers and lions without them getting eaten? I don’t know but here’s a solution that might change everything about wildlife photography, a DSLR camera strapped onto a remote-controlled robot-like car.

You know commercial DSLR fisheye lenses are very expensive, why not make your own with a regular peephole for a door plus some foam and Canon EOS T-mount?
I took the body cap off my camera, and held the two lenses in front of the body. Looking through the viewfinder and experimenting with the lens positions, I was able to come up with an estimate for how fa
Although this might not look too fashionable to carry around, you can make a DSLR chest support with several PVC piping pieces for more stable photo/video taking with just one hand. Of course, this will also stabilize your two-handed shots, certainly a good DIY for those with unsteady hands.
