A previous thread praised the Thumbs Up 'film advance lever' prosthesis, & I chimed in to say how helpful I'd found it when shooting at slower speeds with less camera movement. Much more like holding a film M.

 

But they've been out-of-stock while Tim Isaacs had a new batch machined in China. The good news is that he's ready to ship them now, & I have a 2d one on the way for my backup body.

 

The bad news is that they're more expensive from Tim – he charges a PayPal fee & shipping & handling, amounting to about $17. I got my first one from Dale with free shipping for the list price, so if you aren't in a hurry you might want to wait & save the surcharges.

Greetings Kirk,

Yes, its true, when I am working on production here in China, and ship from my home here, my shipping costs are higher.

When I am in the states and ship from Seattle, the shipping of a TU-CSEP-1 is about $5.85 to USA addresses.

 

Glad I could get a Thumbs Up on its way to you sir!
