thats just my "no tools" solution. i wouldnt even mind having a ratchet handy for tightening if a lock system if that sort wouldnt be viable.... although i cant imagine it not being as it will support my 200 pound ass pounding down the mountain.

as for DOM tubing... i wouldnt mind a fixed length with interchangable tubes, say a 3', 5', 8' and i could probably even get away with a fixed height on the post as well. so the main mechanism would be the piece that allows one to angle the boom. also a choice of counterweights for the boom as well.

so all that and a NICE base, something large and HEAVY. **** tripods, those are the most annoying base concept for mic stands.
