It looks like tech (as always) has continued to evolve wonderful tools.

I've discovered that they use them here in Australia in the film biz too, so I already feel at home.

Very useful.

If you think the standard version is cool, you should check them out here: http://www.doughty-engineering.co.uk/shop/7/57/index.htm The Doughty people make equipment for the film world, and its all shiny and billet aluminum. Just the coolest hardware you can get. We use a TON of these in the theatre world. If you think the standard version is cool, you should check them out here:

When I started I didn't believe that these things were called cheeseboroughs either. After working there for a few years it's now impossible not to call them CheeseBurgers. They are just so bad ass though. I did want to still want to make all of my furniture with speed rail. At my last job we used a lot of speed rail to set up 48-96 Camera systems for motion Capture.
