Those using larger than 1in pipes, how many lbs do your rigs weigh?

Use this as a reference. The weight of either 4' or 5' section is specified.

Going from 2" to 1.75" OD with the same wall of .125" barely saved any weight. Therefore, .125" thickness is out of the question.

Nowhere near Ronaldo's level but...

First rig shot, pretty happy with the outcome. Any tips or critiques would be appreciated.

Getting into rig shots too, Rivest? :) I've had all the parts for my rig sitting in my garage for a month now and still haven't taken the time to go try it out, lol. One of these days. :lol:

I'd love too. Rig shots always impressed me, I think it's now my time to do some! I'd go the F1000 and magic arm way, just debating on which boom to use. I won't order it online, I need to buy it locally.

The hardest past is knowing which material to get it and of which longer of how long...

:(

I found a local shop that cut pieces of aluminum pipe for me, and found couplers at another local place, but I haven't tested them out yet so I can't really recommend what I bought until I do. First it was lack of free time, now it's just too damn hot! :)
