Here are some add-on tripod covers. They simply attach under the chrome rim.
They are fake but They look pretty good, and the price is right. Anyone try
them?

I have the PL700s on my BJ8 here in Hong Kong and, aside from looking cool,
they really aren't all that great. Even my Lucas flamethrowers produce more
light than the PL700s. I am thinking of selling my PLs and putting on
Hellas or something that helps me see what's in front of me.
