I finished building my Zeppelin last night and thought you guys would get a kick out of this beast. It's a full 18 inches long and is way huger than my camera.

I took some pics of the construction process if anyone is interested, just say the word...

I just finished mine. Just over 20 inches. It looks like a dead cat with the fur on it....:) I still have to make the mount for my gitzo fishpole.

I basically used everything you have there........looks good.
 
I have a Gitzo fishpole too and only just realized after attaching the microphone mount that it was the wrong size for the gitzo. So right now I have to wrack my brains to come up with a way to mount some kind of adapter between the two....
