After a year of issues with my tent obscura setup, it has been rebuilt! The latest version incorporates key upgrades. The leg to platform is much stronger, which is what was broken for a year. A new lens package is more adjustable, and sits higher off the platform. The base is wider for increased photographical area. A new canopy is better fitting. And finally, I have designed a way to increase the height to see above railings.
