I saw the remote. My first thought was an extension cable to move it to the
side or amidships of the zeppelin but I don't know that it'd work. I emaile=

Sounds like a good layout. For now, I'm having to stick to a fairly low
budget.
Did you angle the PIPs more forward or are they directed hard left and
right?
I like the tea strainer idea someone did for the Shure 138s (I think it was
John Hartog). I keep seeing these white ball halves too in photos, I think
that must be something from a craft store, will look into those too. It
seems like the strainer would be more transparent as far as sound.
I've been sitting here this morning playing with a flash offset bracket I
had laying around trying to figure out a windsock bracket.
