<b><font face="Arial" size="6">How I Mod My Flyingpod XL</font></b>
<b><font face="Arial" size="3">First Let me show you the junk that I don't need from
the Flyingpod. And with the mod the pod is a 3/4 lbs. less weight.</font></b>
<b><font face="Arial" size="3">I mod the pod cuz the dam thing would not fit in my bag
with my tripod and dolly wheels. So what I did was I had a old light stand and
used it for all the parts. Plus the balance ring was a pain, I always have to
worry about loosing the dam thing. So look at the mod and let me know what you
think.</font></b>
<b><font face="Arial" size="3">Here is a photo of the junk I don't need
anymore from the Flying pod design. Oh Iforgot to put the alien key with the
photo :)</font></b>

</font>
<b><font size="3" face="Arial">As you know with there design The whole
Flyingpod is one piece. Just the side to side counter weight can be remove.</font></b>
<b><font size="3" face="Arial">Here are the redesign of the Flyingpod.</font></b>

<font face="Arial">
<b><font size="3">^AS you can see now
the pod breaks down to 3 pieces.</font></b></font>

</font></font>
<b><font size="3" face="Arial">^There design the </font></b><b><font face="Arial" size="3">alien</font></b><b><font size="3" face="Arial">
key is not used any more. :) When you turn the knob it slides up and down like there's
did but smoother.</font></b>
<b><font size="3" face="Arial">I just want to do one more thing to this mod
and that's I want to get the bottom plate to slide off as well, so it
would be in four parts instead of 3.</font></b>
<b><font size="3" face="Arial">Let me know what you think of the mod of the
Flyingpod.</font></b>
