For the truly curious, I assembled my 51\" white PLM V2 this afternoon and posted some quick and dirty images and impressions here:

Thanks for sharing this Dave. Based on appearances, it\'ll be a bit slower on location than I\'d expected, but certainly not unusably so.

Can you tell us whether that locking screw goes has a drilled destination point, or are you just opening the umbrella until it \'feels\' right and then tightening it down? I\'m wondering if a hole could be drilled out at the destination point and a spring-loaded pin used as a replacement locking mechanism for quicker assembly.

As for the other thing - water off a duck\'s back. My suggestion to move PLMs to a 7mm shaft and thereby expand the market received a similar reaction. I still plan to buy one or more as stock becomes available, because the price / performance ratio is still there.
