I had a crack at building the arm band worn by Holtzmann in the new movie. This appears to control the [Ghost trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) wirelessly, and also the pistol holster built into her pack. The one in the movie appears to have only two settings, and I wanted to make it a bit more exciting. It has a loading screen, which performs a series of checks while it is booting, then flashes to inform the trap is ready for use. As an extra perk I decided to add a “Who Ya Gonna Call?” animation to it as a kind-of screen saver. Anyway, have a gander, if you like it, give me a hell yeeeeaahhhh!!! I’ll consider commissions of them if anyone is interested in one. Contact me via [Captivating Costumes](http://www.facebook.com/CaptivatingCostumes) So here’s the video of the functions, and I’ll follow up with a few photos: [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/1/01c60e063bf30bfd294cf66192788f8b3cbbc7f8.jpeg "Ghostbusters 2016 Reboot Holtzmann Arm Gadget") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PSDKMv8cbo) This is what I was aiming for… Here’s a few parts thrown in a pile. A slightly neater pile with all the wiring complete: The boot up screen Trap ready screen: The screen saver …and hear it is being worn For completion sake, I’ll include this photo. I started out doing a really bad print out of some words with a blue LED behind it (I didn’t have any green). I decided it looked pants, so wanted to build a fully functional one. Cool photos from the promo we did for the Odeon in Worcester: > **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/CaptivatingCostumes/photos/?tab=album&album_id=888476764591685)** ---

Nice, love it! this one’s my next project along with some proton grenades (although those will be a custom design as we’re doing them a little bit more enclosed with less wires and no timer so not to scare people!) So far started with the arm band. Tiger store has a fairly decent mobile phone/ipod arm band for £4 which we’ve used as a base (just needs a little length cutting from top and bottom) but the band itself is pretty close. ---

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Lee, do you have a link for that armband? ---

Ah this is glorious! I’m currently working on plans to make…basically everything Holtzmann wears and uses the entire movies? This is really helpful to reference, thank you!
