Dan--
Thanks for sharing wire screen shock design. Would be shorter with
the Rodes too. I also like Walt's idea,.. Maybe two 4" PVC tubes
(chopped or drilled away) and hinged together in front so the angle
could be quickly changed. Next would be attaching a handle or tripod
mount close to the balancing point,..
