    Fun fact Sarah, there’s a great camera tripod company called “3 Legged Thing” and one of their tripods IS called Dave. They name all their products after their employees. Their CEO also runs around in a chicken suit on their ads and videos. Totally your kinda humor. They make amazing tripods.

    Having someone who is confident in their abilities working on a mechanically simple build is just kind of holistically rewarding to watch and probably build as well. It looks awesome now it's coming together. It'll be exactly what you'd hoped for at the start of the project and more. Great to watch.
