Cheers guys. I purposely purchased a good mic and wind muff for this reason a while ago, this was the first time I could ever really get someone to film with it though haha. I agree that it adds nicely to the vid. I want to try and use it more in the future.
Rail is actually super simple, I could set it up and put it away by myself which was kind of the goal. It's made from 2x 6m lengths of wood decking ontop, supported by coppers logs cut in half (semi circles) underneath, with 100mm PVC T sections with the top cut off so they sit over the coppers logs. Then the legs are obviously just 100mm pieces of PVC pipe pushed into the sand and into the T sections. If you wax the top it will last a long time.
I gave it to the groms down there when I left so we will see how long it lasts them
