In that case all you need is a EQ platform as Rob said.

read this:

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-435-0-0-1-0.html

here you can read basics about it with good pictures to understand how it works:

And then you can find a lot about EQ platforms on the net, even buy ready ones if you don't want to make your own.


cheers
