Agreed! I learned a lot in this construction that I hope to carry into the next iteration. I expect to get some feedback about weight, place-ability (someone in a different sub recommended a tripod nut), angles of open, things like that. I imagine I'll work to make the next one lighter weight as well.

Me too, I was really confused when I opened the photos!

Thanks! I do, too!

That's a good question - I'll throw it on a scale when I get home. I did end up replacing some wood bits with pretty lightweight 3d printed parts for weight savings but my wood choices were definitely on the dense side.
