Must make you consider putting wheels on your creation!

It's not big enough to warrant any wheels.  The whole idea of making it 
into a reflex was to obviate any need for a tripod.

I focus through the top half.  The reflex viewer is attached to the 
upper camera's ground-glass.

The lenses have helical focusing, and I shoot hand(s)  held... hardly 
ever used with a tripod.

It cost me around $500 to assemble... that includes the lenses at $300 a 
pair.
