I just looked at it again, wow you did make your own trypod and put a bolt in the middle and some grease.
after looking at it a fue times I see one thing that can become a stress point, the center where the crain meats the trypod, Take the boom back off and wrap the whole joint with fiberglass and redrill the hole, if this was to fail it would happen realy quick.
The wood is not predictable enough to put your cam on when it's that small.
I'm talking about where everything meets, like a spiders body.
Fiberglass will make it strongenough to hold your body weight.
Don't know if you have ever used fiberglass before but it's easy to use. You can get it at any Discount Auto Store,or hardware store.
cut your cloth- mating into strips squares what ever fits, mix your resin, and put it on with a paint brush.
Think of this like tape that will become like a rock.
You can learn how to mix it and play with it in paper Dixie Cups, and a paper plate, you just want it wet, not driping.
try to cover a small cardboard box first to get the hang of it.
Oh yea this stuff is realy cheap, and once you get the hang of it you can build crazzzzzy rigs.
