Man, I'd love to see pics of the $3,000 ones just to see how they're set up. I don't know if I'd use copper. I'd probably bend it. I like the PVC much more. I can handle the weight.

Thanks. You're way too kind. Happy to help if I can. I do know what you mean about the weight though. I think mine is way over engineered (I could have used 1" pvc for the arms instead of 2", my aluminum frame doesn't need the duct tape to hold shape, etc..) but for the 5-6 hours I'm in it I'm so jacked that I don't even notice it.

I'd just as soon take my extra copper to the scrap yard, thank you. More money for prop building!
