speedlinksThis edition of speedlinks is pretty DIY centric. We’ll cover huge boom stands,  gaffer tape holder surprise, flash gel holder thingy,  some wacky flash diffusers and more.

If you like those tiny bites of the web, you can take a look at the bottom right corner where I post the links as I find them (and befriend me on Delicious), or you can watch my stumbles on stumbleupon.

  • COOKING WITH LIGHT…ERRR…LIGHTING WITH COOKWARE.
    David E Jackson

  • Add a sync port to 580 EX (DIY)
    Photography On The Net
    You know how Canon users are always complaining about not having a sync port on their flashes? Well, problem solved. This (simple) heart squinting mod will add a sync port to your flash. (Of course, you can always pay another guy to do it for you.
  • Building a Bicycle Camera Mount
    Camera Hacker
    Now you can ride and take photos at the same time. This great mod will allow you to mount any camera to your bicycle. I’m not sure I’d trust this with a DSLR, but point and shoot people – this is definitely a mod for you
  • strobist-project-opensource-trigger
    code.google.com
    As a code developer myself, I always enjoy a good open source project. Even more so when it comes to a Strobist project. The SPOT is an open source project for remote triggering a flash. Cost it about 48€
  • DIY 9.5ft Boom – 40 Bucks, 10 Minutes

  • Gel holder
    fiz-iks
    This is a great mod for holding a gel to your flash. Simple, Elegant, and most important – Fast. Fiz-Iks also have a great light painting section – the first vid look promising.

  • lens hoods – the best protection for your lenses
    Planet Neil
    You know that lens hoods will help with flare, you know they will protect your lens – did you know they can serve as portable storage?
  • Dubai Parkour Project: A Collaborative Student Video
    Chase Jarvis
    This is a great collaborative project from Chase Jarvis "school". Produce a commercial in one day. I love how the team rose to the challenge. Search the call for arms at the end of the post.
