Been setting up to do a balloon shoot with some fellow photogs but space is at a premium trying to get as many tripods together is difficult so I made this.

It sure looks business-like. Have you tested it for shake?
I suppose it'll be video for the balloons?

Yeah that what worries me but I’m thinking a 5 second shutter speed to let the vibes settle then shoot the balloon around the 4 second mark.

I've done things like this, and found that a dampening strut from near the ends of the bar to a leg
has helped. (Clamp to legs somehow.)
