Thanks DD I'll get it out later this week (pulled muscle in back at mo
) and post up the dimensions here.
I'm glad I asked here though as it would have been all too easy to have assembled something that felt right but was in fact a ticking time bomb
Regarding the shock mount I think I will probably make something that fits as your ultimate solution looks much better and when I tried mine in various different places I came to the same 2 locations as you. I did think that the external one might constantly be in contact with my right knee so that would be a major no-no and annoying!
