Thursday update on the mic stand scope holder!
Here is the more stable of the two mic stands I found buried and rusted in the shed. A little steel wool and it chromed up fairly well:
But the mic holder plastic part had dried and cracked off:
Nothing a little blue tape won't temporarily fix:

And here is the result (Doug's Varin flip day 50):
I can tell you this would work a lot better inside, since it was tough to turn the "fan" off in the backyard. Every little breeze
seems to whisper Louise made the flowers sway which messes up everything. Even trying to focus moves it ever so slightly, so I think I'll probably only use this if my wife isn't available to press the shutter button in the app when it's trich-check time.
Definitely worked better than doing it alone by hand!
