yeah i hear ya, two rods that probably telescope out to obtain tension on the floor and ceiling a fixed distance apart, just enough to fit a small horizontal base to set a camera on...and the camera would actually be "fixed" to the base.

Thanks Lazandro, all together the mount cost about $30, that includes the paint, primer, 36" of unistrut and some miscellaneous hardware. much better than the ~$100+shipping companies want for one online.

Some of us look at these threads! And some of us happen to like dorks. lol
