Their tagline is "Hack Things Better". It's really fun stuff and I've used it to repair, modify or improve my gear.

(From L to R)

  • The Trusmt cage - which I got through the generous deal through PP - was not tall enough to fit my GH2 setup so I stuck two spare rods on top of the existing ones to raise it up

  • Here I use coins (best thing I can think of!) to create some anti-twist plates) for the Ownuser GH2 battery grip

  • Stuck a Sony battery adapter onto the back of my monitor

  • Made the grip on my broadcast zoom lens a little more ergonomical for me

  • Replaced a lost screw & knob for my matte box

  • Added an extra cold shoe mount on the Modula 3 rig. Edelkrone sells cold shoe adapters at a ridiculous US$60 each!

  • Molded more grip on my tiny NEX-5N (ran out of black)

Got a few packs left so still thinking of ways to hack!
