Default Water Ballast Tripod

Hi All,

I'm looking at building a tripod-type stand to hang water jugs from to make filling my glider with water ballast a little bit easier. Just curious if there is anyone out there that has something similar already built. If so, I was hoping you could send me some pictures of your setup in order to give me some ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jay

I just saw someone who had a very sturdy tripod with adjustable height
and he told me it is drummer's cymbal stand and
you can get them reasonably priced on eBay. He added a pivoting,
padded top to make a nice wing stand.

I'd say that speaker stands look more robust.

Jay, Yes that is exactly the ones he had. $45 and free shipping for
two! Nice.
If you only need one, I'll buy the other.
