A couple of self explanatory shots of a Dolly to move my rig about, (That HEQ5 is very H!)It probaly cost about a fiver to make,the two pieces of copper tube are to hold the counterweights when they are not in use the compass is Velcoed in place, the whole thing moves like a dream, I'm Sure you can make a "Posh"one, believe me its worth it

This thing is as steady as the Rock of Gibralter! the three verical bolts are to level it, I have a bubble level on the verical main spindle, the idea is if THAT is vertical ,.the top of the tripod is horizontal in all directions. should I patent this do you think? -Raised eyebrow,smirky smile-

Cheers Frank ( Now I know how to post pictures,I will probably bombard you!!!!)

Why is it that whatever I make, the Yanks do it bigger, the Japanese make it smaller, and the russians claim to have made it first?

Time to widen the door to our back garden and build a ramp for the 12" step then? Nah - REAL nice skills there Mag, but I'll just have to stick to lightweight stuff and the wife's help to lug it - comrade
