Building a DIY Rail System for Our Canon T2i HDSLRs (Filmed on T2i)

Justin and I both just bought Canon T2is, and we're building some DIY gear. Today, we're having a few cocktails, busting out the power tools, and building a rail system.

Video was filmed on my T2i (handheld, since we don't have rail systems yet!). All with the 18-55mm kit lens, mostly at ISO 800.

Is that some Iron Man pepakura I see in the background at 1:49?

@Hickeydog2365 I don't know what pepakura is, but Justin did make some crappy Iron Man armor using plans he found on the internet...

I'm pretty sure some bits fell off a few days later... It is definitely not currently in use. Like Justin said - it was definitely version 0.1.

@shantidude Have you made a version 2.0?
