This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I'm trying to gather materials now to make my own as well because of the outrageous prices for new dark cloths. Cheers
This is a handy video. I am just staring my own 4 x 5 journey. This seems an area where I might be able to save a couple of squid. Any chance you could tell me what material your partner used to make this?
Hi Steve, sorry for the delay in replying. I spoke to Kim and she can't remember what she used, but it came from Fabric Land (in the UK). She just chose the thinest black material she could find that she couldn't see through.
Thanks and good to hear you have one in progress. I thought the same about the commercial ones and jumped at the chance when Kim said that she could easily make one. The one thing I haven't quite sorted yet is the seal to the camera. Mine lets in a bit of light so I'd be interested to hear how you find this and address it if you do.
hi Leonel. Sorry it's taken so long to reply to you. The length of the cloth (i.e. length being distance from end that goes over my head to the end that goes over the camera) is 83cm or about 32.5 inches. The side that's folded over to create the tube is 94cm (37 inches) when unfolded. Kim used an open ended zip to create the tube, that is, the type of zip you'd use on a jacket, not a pair of trousers etc. It has quite large zip teeth just to make it easy to use. At the tube ends, Kim did an open ended hem so that we could push the paracord through. The free ends of the paracord are connected using sliding cord fasteners. I used these specifically: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06WP3JR9P/. regards chris.

No worries, Chris. My wife has come up with a design and the material is on order. The commercial ones seem a liitle ... 'over-priced'.
