Next week i take delivery of a working, meaning functional Deardorff Bi-Post studio camera stand.
I know how to set up a monostand, but this thing is a lot bigger and potentially more dangerous.
I need advice on how best to shorten the 13.5' stand to 11.5'. Portable bandsaw? They can be hard to get a straight cut, I have cut 100's of pipe this size with a portable bandsaw, truck exhaust, and always had trouble making a square cut.
Ok, it will be cut, but what is the best erection advice. Seems to be impossible to lay it assembled on it's side, slide in the weight and then stand it up like a monostand.
Is anybody around that still knows how?
Anybody in Chicago?
