Default Testing my new camera setup

Getting bored waiting for another kidney stone to pass, so I rummaged around the shop to see what was available to make a new gun / camera stand with.

This is just testing the stand itself, photos were made with my smartphone and tidied up a bit.

The goal is to take as clear and clean pictures as possible with a minimal amount of digital processing to get acceptable photos.

The stand can be used with or without a photo tent and this enables me to take sorta decent photos without the need to set up the tent and additional lighting (I'll save that for book and article publications and the like).

Anyway, parts used:
-one length of leftover floor timber.
-a couple of screws.
-the vinyl cover of an old filing folder.
-double sided flooring tape.
-A length of brass from a cleaning rod. (don't use your navy rod).

The rod can be adjusted and should work for anything between .22 and .45-ish.

The C96 is about the biggest pistol the stand can handle.
