In order to test the MagDragon Jr. (This light, build on Mag C body: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/288704)
on the Full Size MagDragon Head with 75mm lens (This light, built on Mag D platform https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/280670)
I needed a mag C to Mag D adapter. After extensive search, I was not able to find one for sale nor was I able to find one that's ever being made.
I decided to make one.
Here is the starting material: Mag C head & mag D tube:
using my trusty table saw, I made two pieces:
The black one is from Mag C head that carries the C thread & the white one is from Mag D tube that carries the D thread.
It was necessary to bore out the Mag D tube a bit, as the adaptor from Mag C start to get real thin & still too fat to plug into the D tube.
The two pieces plug into each other & permantly bonded together by JB weld.
The inside of the adapter carries mag C Thread & The outside carries the Mag D thread:
The adapter in action on MagDragon Jr.'s C body.
Now the Jr. body mounted into the MagDragon head, wola!:
It's getting really late, I'll have to wait for tomorrow to take some beam shots & lux measurements.
