Photo box

[MACH5]

Anyone knows where I can purchase a nicely made photo box for top down photography? I know Melev sells them but can't use his design since it's made to hang from side of aquarium. My tank is euro braced.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just glued plexiglass to my 100 macro lens hood and trimmed it with dremel.

trimmed it with dremel.

Thanks Doug. Been racking my brain on a way to do some trimming and it never entered my mind.

If I had a router table I'd use it. Smart arse.

I'm being serious. I have the router table, but I'm doing some stuff I have to put on my glasses to do. I tried working at it with exacto knives but it kept cracking. Forgot I have a dremel down in the shop.

I just order one from Building an Obsession. I just got it in, but looks great. The guys over there also were wonderful to deal with.

Thanks bpcardona. The BAO looks really nice as well. I ordered the one from Avast so we'll see. Can't wait to try it out!

I made my own using a piece of scrap acrylic and a short piece of 3" pvc. Glued the acrylic to the pvc, tapped it for a few thumbscrews to hold it to the lens. Total cost (because everything was already in the "don't know what I'll use it for but I can't throw it away" pile was $0.00

I'm home now, too late to edit. Here's a picture of the ones I made:
