Further modifications
For some of my ideas drawn up initially, I wanted to add 2 removeable and adjustable panels. These panels can act as flags, or as width controller. Essentially turning the "lightsaber" into a wider strip light.
As you can see the upper images are with the panels which I made out of mounting boards. it is wider compared to the lower image.
Same diffuser was used.
However the amount of weight added was very substantial and throwing the balance off.
The whole rig is still stable on the tripod but due to my miscalculations it is not idea. so I need to go back to the drawing board for that later.
Will also think about getting lighter but as strong tubings.
Original idea was to have diffuser stuck with velcro but velcro is not sticking to diffuser properly. Need tofind stronger diffusing material and ways to maybe sew velcro in.
Currently using rubber bands :D
Spill control still need to be looked at.
Had a second tube in the process but ran out of screws! :(
