Now tell us how you really feel.

It is a good build, with lots of good ideas incorporated in it, however, I can tell you from hard won experience that if you put a decent weight on it that swivel mounting, WILL bend.
There is a very good reason why commercial Hiabs and the like use a 6" or 8" mounting structure, and it's not because they want to use up 8" pipe.
