Hello,

If you shift to lighter materials you should be able to keep it fairly light, not sure how close the loading already is on the mount though.

I'd be thinking about 5kilo hand weights to use as easy guide ropes to keep the box down as more of a worry.(like a weighted kite string holder really)

Also suggest abandoning the box design, easy to build but leaves you with large wind sheer faces and a cook top. Something along the lines of two cones sealed end to end at the bases, and a cutout for the scope. Be a lot friendlier in wind and a smaller top surface area. Make sure there is good gapping for air flow.

If you abandon a rigid design, create your own round/teepee drop cloth with half a dozen or so tent peg loops at the base and a air exchange at the center(top). (Take the hem low and the air vent fairly large and you shouldn't end up with a parachute...)
