I can think of some situations, like taping a stack at a DMB show.
Precisely. I also don't get the full 13' of the 004, as the legs are kept together because of the way I secure the stand to the seats. I'd say the top is more like 10-11'.
I don't have any superclamps (yet... nearly bought one when I ordered the extension). Just tried rigging something in a similar way with a windtech and another clamp (the L-shaped kind... it's been mentioned here before)... it sort of works, but awkwardly.
I may see if I can make my own velcro straps, or daisy-chain them..
