Acrylic camera box
 
Can someone tell me where I can buy an acrylic box for top down photos for my DSLR. A local source in Calgary would be ideal.

Thanks

Are you just looking for a good viewing box?

Or one of the cylindar ones that strap on the camera?

Avast is the only company I know of that makes one of these, but shipping and exchange rate kills the deal for me.

That's what I'm looking for. Any cheaper options?

Not that I know of, unless you go with something like this:

The issue with shooting through an acrylic box is you get reflections from your lights. That is why Avast made the porthole to limit reflections.

We shoot top down with the flow completely off. It works perfectly if you have modular lights so that you can shoot between them. If you use T5's, it will be difficult.
