I'll be releasing a commercial version of my Motorscorpion camera mount, which will retail for about $300, and I KNOW I'll get 10 idiots saying "screw you man, I can build that for $40". Ignoring the months of trial and error, NUMEROUS prototype versions, hundreds of dollars to build those prototypes, and a lot of research.
DUDE I CAN BUILD THAT FOR 40 DOLLARS LOL

only 9 idiots to go...
