Hi folks

yet another of my requests for advice. I made a shockmount/cage for my two =

and many thanks to all who helped with advice on the way. It's rough and re=
ady but it works and I've tested it in all sorts of environmental condition=
s (in Scotland this can be done in one afternoon). I'm using a borrowed tri=
pod which is sturdy but very heavy. Manfrotto seems to be the company that =
crops up as recommended but there are so many models.

I'm looking for something under =A3100.00 (UK sterling) which will support =
the rig and stand up in the field (literally and metaphorically). Any tips?=
 Thanks in anticipation.
