There's a camera in there somewhere.

Camera: Pentax Q7

Lens: Pentax DA 55-300mm HD WR via Pentax K-Q adapter (259mm-1410mm EQ 35mm)

Loupe: Kamerar QV-1

Flask: Metz 58 AF-1 + Better Beamer flash extender

Tripod and Head: Vanguard

 

If you look closely, you'll see the K-Q adapter mounting plate is reversed. That's so the Kamerar plate can be mounted there. The Kamerar plate is compatible with the Manfrotto 501PL plate and slides into my Manfrotto 701HDV fluid pan video head perfectly. Without this change, the Kamerar whn mounted directly to the Q sits too high.

 

One of these days I'll spring for a DA300+TC or wait to see if Pentax releases a new zoom soon. Until then, the DA55-300mm will do double duty as birding lens and smallish motorcycle travel long-zoom. I've already got some nice results from bits and pieces of this kit-still waiting to use the Better Beamer in real-life situations.
