hharney is on a distinguished road
Not the best photo but this is a boom cradle with adjustable height
Has a wide plate on the bottom to support the pipe that has another pipe inside to adjust height with series of holes and pin
The saddle for the boom is on a swivel and is just a piece of heavy iron strap (like 1/4 x 3) bent in the shape of the boom and has a piece of rubber glued to the inside
These belong to Jerry DeSantis and I have some better pictures somewhere but it's really pretty straight forward design
Oh, there is one for each side :-)
