A wooden kitchen cabinet knob just wouldn't have the same class! :
P Besides, that would have involved a trip to town, which I avoid
whenever possible.
I posted a couple of pictures of the bar several weeks ago, when I had
hose clamps holding it together while some glue dried. Here's another
picture of the bar. The knob works well, holding a camera rigidly to
the sliding platform. The clamp on the left, used as a stop, is sold as
a window lock, four for a dollar. The aluminum was in a junk yard,
parts of door frames from a demolished building. The pieces are
extruded "U" shapes, with the open side toward the middle of this bar.
The sliding platform is two pieces of the same shape, just shorter and
turned back to back. The camera mount is an even shorter piece with a
cut out for the knob. It gives about 10" of slide and the window lock
can be used as a stop anywhere along the bar that has been precisely
marked with a dull "Sharpie" pen. With screws and glue and all I spent
less on the bar than I did on the 6 pack of beverage.
I've only used it a couple of times, then I got the twin 7i set and
started over with another design. I have them mounted on a different
type of sliding platform on a 12" bar. I also have a 36" bar that the
sliding platforms quickly mount on for hyper shots. The platforms
support external battery packs under the cameras. All of these were
made from the same pile of salvaged door frames.
