Tks for the replies everyone...yes they do look a little flimsy, however my design criteria is to provide secondary support for my hands for extended viewing. I was never really expecting the stand to support the bins independently, just to take the edge of the weight and help stabilise (similar to a steady cam)..I had thought of the addition of a counterweight as Allan said in his posted reply...but I will test and see if it is necessary. I will keep you all up to date as my little project moves fwd. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. Cheers...Gaz.
