This is the original point I was trying to make and requesting input on. My original comment was that it is heavy. What I am wondering is. . .
A) What does it look like? I can't really tell how it is put together from the non-informative photos on the website.
B) Has anybody made one out of lighter weight materials or does that seem to be a possibility?
C) Has anyone had any direct experience or know anyone who owns one?
Dunno, maybe I should have posted in the Make Your Own Gear forum but thought the questions were a little broader . . .
Thanks for comments so far.
